An evening with Warwick Morris

On May 7th the Korean Cultural Centre again hosted an AKS event, this time sponsored by Samsung Electronics. An opening presentation on their products and corporate

structure was enthusiastically delivered by Andrew Griffiths, Samsung VP of Consumer Electronics for UK and Ireland. In vivid contrast to the technology of modern day South Korea, Warwick Morris entertained us with recollections of life in Seoul when he was first posted there in 1974. Under military dictatorship and a nightly curfew, life was rather bleak. Further postings from 1988 to 1991 and most recently, as Ambassador, from 2003 to 2008 have given him a unique and fascinating insight into the dramatic changes that have taken place in Korea over this period. A full report of his excellent talk, written by Jennifer Barclay, can be found at Philip Gowman’s website under londonkoreanlinks.net/category/anglo-korean-society/. Following a question and answer session we belatedly tucked into another delicious Korean buffet and enjoyed catching up with old friends and new over a glass of wine.
