Yesterday night: Friends, a barbecue and the proper amount of soju on the 24th floor of the Ramada hotel, looking over the ING building and the famous landmark of Seoul, the Namsan tower. What a nice goodbye party! Besides the ridiculous hat you guys made me wear all night, I want to thank everybody for their kindness, presents and fun. Because of you, I’m looking back at a nice year in Korea and the success at ING. Looking back, I am convinced that INGLK is a great place to work, the environment is engaging and allows pro-active employees to reach high and achieve a successful career. I am looking forward to the following months – for obvious reasons, but am sad to leave my colleagues behind at the same time.

Things that I learned last night:

• I suck at jumping a rope
• Germans are generally bad with the hoolahoop
• The CMO of ING can control the fluorestic building’s sign with his mobile, everyday the guard climb the roof at 8PM to do a little dance underneath the lion.
