Hiiiyaaa everyone! I’m excited to share my incredible experience attending the KIWW24 (Korea International Water Week) 2024 conferences in Daegu City, South Korea. Not only was the event inspiring, but the trip itself was unforgettable—especially during the enchanting autumn season.
#Ambience
The ambiance of the city in autumn is ineffable. We were greeted by the breathtaking autumn hues of vibrant reddish orange and golden yellow. The crisp autumn breeze added to the charm, making the ambience so soothing. Here’s pictures capturing the glimpse of Daegu City in autumn.
#Food
Calling all spicy food enthusiasts—South Korea is a slice of heaven! One of the highlights of my trip was visiting Seomun Market, a bustling traditional food market in Daegu. The sheer variety of Korean delicacies was astonishing, and yes, I ATE A LOT.
My absolute favorite? Hotteok! This delightful rice cake, filled with a lightly sweet mixture, was simply irresistible. Here’s a glimpse of the lively market ambiance and, of course, some mouthwatering shots of the food.
#Conferences
The other highlight of my visit was presenting at the Youth Research Session during the KIWW24 conferences moderated by Ishiwatari Sensei. The session discussed on how flood control investments can bring about unintended benefits, an area that lack discussed about.
It was such an honor to share the stage with students from prestigious universities like Seoul National University and Kongju National University. Engaging with fellow young researchers and exchanging ideas was an inspiring experience. Here’s a snapshot of me during my presentation!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story all the way to the end—it truly means a lot!
Oh, also an exciting news: I’ll be attending a conference in the United States this winter, and I’m looking forward to sharing more about that experience soon. Stay tuned for updates and stories here on the blog!
Thank you again for your support and kind attention.
Warm regards,
Leon
