My boss arranged for me to have another great lunch. But forget about him treating me to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Today we had a lunch at a great Chinese restaurant.
The occasion was to celebrate the publication of Geoil Bok's new book "Laissez Evoluer" published by our friends at the Korea Economic Research Institute.
During lunch, I learned a few things about the value of sitting next to the main speaker or guest at a lunch of dinner meeting.
Everyone was talking to Mr. Bok, so he didn't have much time to eat. On the other hand, for me: Head down, chopsticks up and moving in every direction. It seems that I had a pair of chopsticks in each hand. It didn't just seem that I was eating enough for two people--I actually was! For me and Mr. Bok!
I later mentioned Mr. Bok in a Korea Times column. 'Situationist' (koreatimes.co.kr)
