Kyounghee University was the most "modern" university that we visited. Still located in Seoul, it's founder had a vision of creating a place of beauty in which students would study. Both he and his wife were from North Korea - she was "from money" and he was not. It is said that he used some of his wife's money to start the university, but mostly he convinced he colleagues and friends to fund his project. What follows is his vision come to life.
The entrance to Peace Hall.
The majestic Peace Hall - not to be confused with Notre Dame!
Inside the hall was the biggest surprise of all - a performance center that featured the most modern ammenities and the best accoustics.
An enormous "chandelier" that started in the ceiling, ...
Within minutes, made it's way to 20 feet above the heads of the audience in the orchestra!
The accoustics were so superior that even from this height (the very back row), we could hear that man on the stage droppng his coin!!
And of course every good theatre must have its dressing rooms!!!
Next stop at Kyounghee: Cyber University which offers its own degrees and has its own recording studio! Here is one of our delegation debuting as an anchorwoman.
