Monday June 22, Hyundai Motors and Jeju Island

Good Morning Everyone.

Just thought I would post again quickly before we head off to a new location and internet access may not be available. It is pouring rain as it is rainy season and now I know why they call it that. I mean raining. Same as the last time we are to visit a beach today but not likely to happen.

We are off to Hyundai Motors for a tour. I think this is going to be interesting. Then fly off to Jeju Island. Leevi is still sleeping and it will be his first morning since we have been here that he can stay sleeping. He has to be up by 8:30. He can eat breakfast on the bus. He is a DS monster. He has met a new friend Luka and the two of them are head to head playing games. Usually there is only on DS functioning at a time due to charging issues. The kids have been incredible at sharing. Truly wonderful well behaved children.

The trip has been so great for the children as they play and hang out all the time. Leevi is rarely sitting with me or walking with me on tours he wants to be with his friends. He is blossoming here, appearing very confident and happy. No interest in living here though as a school day is far too long and homework a must.

Better run breakfast is being served at 7:30 and it is 7:25

I will attach a few random pics.

Love Ya

I am adding to this post today August 20th as I have finally had the time to spend on this blog. I wanted to add somethings about Hyundai Motors. It was a very very rainy day but we were able to carry on with our visit anyway. After curb side drop off in the pouring rain we were escorted into a room to watch a brief into to the company. It employs 33,000.00 people. On grounds they have 22 restaurants and a hospital. Unbelievable place. They have street names, stop lights and a huge port for shipping cars. After the into we wandered through the show room checking out their newest models. Leevi was very keen to sit in them along with his buds. We then loaded the bus to drive over to the assembly line. It was truly fascinating to see the cars come together. I must say I enjoyed this just as much as Leevi did. The precision of the machines, people and computers was shocking. We were not allowed to take pictures but they did give us a small version of a SUV to take home.

Next we drove over to the port to see the cars being loaded onto the ships for overseas. Again the rain was a factor and the view and pictures do not do it justice.
