To Start Our Second Week!

Yesterday we started off another week. It was a good one. Rather hot though. The weather has turned warm and humid making wearing nice clothes a hassle, but we will persevere. I do not have any pictures to post as my camera batteries died and I was not able to take any photos however all of my team members have plenty and I will tell them to post. Anyways, we visited a chicken factory much like Tyson back in the USA. It was all very interesting and clean. This factory processes 150,000 chickens per day! It is quite impressive. After the chicken factory we had lunch of course! Our host for the day bought us fresh strawberries that just melted in your mouth. It was just wonderful. After lunch we then proceeded on to the SOJU factory. Soju is basically similar to vodka. However we found out that it is not distilled rather fermented and then diluted with water. We left the factory with three cases of Soju. We gave two of them to our gracious host for which they were very thankful. There are 20 bottles of soju in a case. After that, our hosts took us to a nice park to unwind and sightsee for a bit, then treated us to dinner. We ate Chinese and the restaurant was just adjacent to the World Cup soccer stadium, very huge. Our evening ended early which was great because Lesley and I went to experience a spa bath. Highly recommend, that is if you are not modest. Today is another professional day as we will visit the Atomic Energy Research Institute and finally give a presentation to a local club. Check back soon for an update and hopefully more pictures. Off to start our day.
