It's all a blur.............................

Lots going, never a dull moment or a moment to think. I'll try to fill in the last 4 days.

As you heard from Robin below we visited a Buddhist museum. Pretty incredible stuff in here. That statute has 1000 little hands back there.








We visited the Clan Registry Park where all Korean family names are registered.
The picture is of our translator in front of her registry monument.

We also went to O-World which is an amusement park, zoo, and plant world. It rained horrible all day and we were cold and wet. We had umbrellas and rain suits but got close to stay warm.
I've attached a sign from the amusement park. Guess where I had to go?

On the 27th we went to Daechung dam, third largest in the country. We were allowed to tour inside. They told us we were special people, probably not though.









We toured Moonse Village, a historic village to see and understand historical life. Beautiful setting.













From there toured Chungnamdae, the presidential vacation resort. Unbelievable setting and splendor.

On the 28th we went to a tree garden, the Art Museum, the Science and Technology museum.
The highlight was a tour of KBS, the Korean Broadcast System. We saw a plant/flower in the lobby and met with anchors plus had access to everything. I do not have any pictures upstairs but these are great.



Today we visited KAIST, Korea Advanced Institute for Science and Technology. Rated number 1 in Korea and number 69 in the world. Very impressive university.
We did the Geological museum on campus also.
We toured KB & T, a cigarette manufacturer. Unbelievably clean and efficient.
After that we toured two manufacturing plants.

Did I mention we eat a lot..........................
