Seoul Tube 2011 logo: Courtesy Michael  On May 28, 2011, at Yeouido/여의도 Park, Seoul, Korea, we all gathered for Seoul Tube event! More than 100 people subscribed to event with diverse cultures and background! We all gathered for following agenda/theme.  To meet You tubers in Korea,  to share experiences about life in Korea and why we make videos,  and some casual talk! last but not least "To make new friends" I am sure that everybody has increased his friend list by the end of day! I went there with my friends David Choo (Founder TedxItaewon) and Sohyun Ha (Director TedxItaewon)!  The organizer of Seoul Tube 2011 was Michael Aronson.( facebook.com/hdefined ) The location of event was perfect for a bright sunny day!  Random fact# Yeouido is a spacious park near Han River!

My Korean lab mates keep telling me that it the most expensive restaurant in COEX, meanwhile, I was continuously checking money in my wallet as well as thinking about 'how to survive for the rest of month!'. The fascinating thing about the restaurant was its high quality of food. In addition to that, it was eatable for me and my other Pakistani colleague! while waiting for our turn, I took this pic of my colleagues!       Let me briefly mention about background of this visit! Our university (Kyung Hee University) is going to participate in World IT Show being held at COEX from 11-14 May, 2011.
