Stop Ciovo

After visiting IBA, it's time to visit the headquarter of the national baduk federation, Hankuk Kiwon (한국기원). It's already my last day in Seoul, because Sunday I've to go to KBC. I met the other IBA guys and we visited the building. At the ground floor, there's the entrance and some rooms, one is a television studio (where games are recorded for Baduk TV) and a mixing room: there's also a small shop, but it was closed. At the first floor there are playing rooms, but Saturday are closed, so we couldn't see them. At the second and third floor here are offices, not very interesting. At the fourth floor there are 2 special rooms where important professional games are played, so not many people can go and play there; there's also a room where female yeonguseng play. At the fifth and last floor there are some rooms where male yeonguseng play.

After yesterday's rain, today sun is shining: it's good reason to tour the city and see something interesting. The day is really favourable, there are no cluds but the wind is very strong and freezing. The temperature is also quite low despite the sun, the maximum is about 3-4°C. My visit was centered on classical historic spots, monuments and palaces: I was very lucky because in more than one chance I could live these places almost alone, seeing that the time is not very turistic now.
Palaces are located in the neighbourhood, it's no more than 2km each: let's say it was a good chance to make a walk!
