My visit to Seoul in April 2012 was very special.  Not only did I learn that Seoul is an amazingly vibrant and dynamic city, but I shared two lovely dinners with members of the recently formed Seoul Branch.  Friday 26 April saw us at a ‘celebrity chef’ French restaurant, ‘Bien Etre’.  It’s a tiny restaurant that takes up to ten people and is outstandingly difficult to find without local knowledge.  With the food there’s a slight sense of being in a time warp but that was all part of the magic as the chef, dressed for the part in his French beret, worked furiously in his tiny kitchen to create a traditional French feast just for us.  It was also a real delight to meet some of the members of IWFS Seoul.  President Jinhwan Jung has gathered some fabulous folk to this branch – watch this space!   (Yvonne Wallis, APZ Chair).
