For the past week at #dh2026 we’ve watched people queue for hours in a heatwave to get into the very viral Sungsimdang Cake Boutique in #Daejeon As the conference ended I walked past and at 7pm there was no queue! A fab way to end the week. Can report the chocolate cake was 🤤

Up at dawn-o-clock so went for a walk before it gets too hot in #daejeon. I do like exploring a city at the time of delivery folks and runners. Didn’t expect to find a bit of the Berlin Wall, mind. #Korea
