SEOUL -Things are about to kick off here at the Seoul Sheraton and the expected 2000 strong crowd is making its way in…huge auditorium here with a largely Korean crowd, though the first couple of seat rows are reserved for foreign dignitaries including various diplomats from Latin America, Central Asia and other areas.

Was provided with a thoughtful gift of a 4-CD boxset of traditional Korean music, which I will duly check out on the all-singing and dancing Bose stereo at the W Hotel.

More at lunchtime (Korean time)…
