Invitation from the President of the 13th International Conference of Biochemistry of Exercise

Since its creation in 1968, the research group in Biochemistry of Exercise International Council of Physical Education and Sports Science has been involved in organization of twelve high level meetings. The organizing committee is delighted to invite all members to come to Seoul autumn 2006 and participate in a meeting that highlights the cutting edge of research in this important area. The program of symposia and tutorial lectures will cover a broad area of biochemical and biomedical aspect of exercise, and each symposium has as its underlying basis some aspect of integration. There will be integration from molecular to system function, integration from muscle signaling to fat pad, and between different aspects of organ function during exercise. The organizing committee has selected autumn as the season for some reason. It is the most beautiful scenery among the four seasons and peaceful environment in Korea.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the 13th International Conference of Biochemistry of Exercise to be held from 20th to 23th October, 2006 in Seoul, Korea. This conference course on from skeletal muscle signals to substrate utilization-fat pad interaction will be held at the Olympic Parktel where located in a historical site of Baekje dynasty, now in Olympic Park in Seoul, Korea.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Seoul to join us for one of the most challenging conferences ever held in this field.

About host city: Seoul City

History
It is assumed that human were living in the Seoul area along the lower reaches of the Hangang (Han River) in the Paleolithic Age. Archaeological remains and relics attest to the fact that people already began to lead settled lives here in the Neolithic Age. The prehistoric remains unearthed in Amsa-dong (village), Gangdong-gu (district), where ICBE is going to be held, date back to Neolithic Age of about 7,000 ~ 3,000 years ago. With the introduction of bronze ware from about 700 B.C., people gradually began to spread from the river basin toward inland areas. It was not until the early Three Kingdom period, however, that Seoul area was well inhabited and developed into collective dwelling sites.
Baekje Kingdom was founded in 18 B.C. by the great king Onjo, and with its capital at Habuk Wirye Castle in the north of the Hangang, but the capital was moved to the south of Hangang four years later and named as "Hanseong" as the capital of Baekje Kingdom.
During Choseon dynasty, the construction of Hanseong was carried out according to the carefully thought-out city plans under which palaces and royal shrines and altars were laid in front of Bugaksan and roads were built centering around the Gwanghwamun gate, Jongno street, and Namdaemun (South Gate). These are still maintained as the basic framework of urban planning in Seoul.
Now in the 2000s, the Seoul municipality tries to develop itself into a hub of Northeast Asia, under the master plan worked out for the 21st century. Urban structures will be readjusted to enhance its function as the national capital of the reunified fatherland in the new era of information, globalization and decentralization, and to improve the quality of life of Seoul citizens.

Clothing and Food
Today, except for some special occasions including festive days, or wedding ceremonies the traditional Korean dresses are rarely worn as ordinary clothes.
From the early part of the 20th Century, the Western-style clothes have become more and more popular and have long been the dominant form of clothing in everyday life for both men and women. The latest fashion abroad lands quickly in Korea: the style in vogue and the speed of change in fashion overseas readily find ways to Seoul.
Unlike the Korean housing and clothing which are undergoing rapid westernization, the Korean food remains the most favored diet. Korean families in general set typical Korean tables of rice accompanied by a variety of side dishes. In close look, however, we have to admit that there have also been big changes in dietary life.
Family Life
Koreans traditionally adopted extended family systems under which several generations lived together in the same house. In the process of urbanization and industrialization following the National Liberation, however, nuclear family systems spread very rapidly. The ratio of extended families across the nation, which are composed of three or more generations of grandparents, husband and wife and grandchildren, dropped sharply.

Holidays and Festivals
From ancient times in Korea, holidays have had distinctive ways of celebration, respectively. The custom of celebrating seasonal days in Seoul, in particular, offers very special, unique features which may not be found in other parts of the nation. They are steeped both in the Buddhist culture of Goryeo and in the Confucian culture of the Joseon period. What is more, they reflect two-fold elements of the custom from royal court and that of the commoners.
Religion

Shamanism is the most ancient and traditional belief of the Korean people, on the basis of which foreign religions such as the Buddhism, Confucianism, Catholicism and Christianity found wide acceptance and proliferated very dynamically. Today, the Buddhism, Christianity and Catholicism constitute the majority of Korea' s active religion, while Confucianism governs the way of everyday life and thought of the people with its deep roots in the Korean culture. (For more information, please contact to the Website of Seoul City: http://www.english.seoul.go.kr)

Climate
Temperature in Seoul at the time of congress normal range from a high of ~10°C (in the morning and evening) to ~20°C (during day time). It is the most beautiful season in a year.

Foreign exchange and currency
The exchange rates between won and foreign currencies fluctuate daily and are same at the airport, banks and hotels. International credit cards such as Visa, American Express, Master cards are accepted by most of hotels, restaurants and department stores. But participants are recommended to obtain some “won” cash at the airport to cover their transportation to hotel in Seoul (1hr from the airport by public bus) and small stores.

Passport and visas
All foreign visitors entering South Korea must possess a valid passport. Those requiring visas should apply to Korean Embassy or diplomatic mission in their country prior to departure. For details, participants are advised to consult their local travel agency or airline reservation office.
