Looks like you are enjoying yourself.

Rock on Tim and go for first place

Great to hear Tim.

If you are getting praise from competitors, supervisors from other teams and your own supervisor too, as well as judges, I think you have every right to fell very proud of yourself.

Even if that wasn't happening... you got to the apex event of a worldwide competition - that is something to be proud of too.

Hehehe - Now it sounds like I am going to have to try and make sure I meet Andrew!

What is the exchange rate like AU$ v K .?
Sounds like your having a great time, & best of luck again.
I like the Korean B B Q but one I went to you cooked it yourself on the table. So it's a long time between mouth full's

@Lakes. Exchange is $1au = 800-900wan think we worked it out to be 10000wan is $12.50.
No cheap shopping here though. All very much the same as Australia.

Ok picture time before I fall asleep. Not alot and quite a few through bus window but here we go anyways.

Random street in Seoul.

Random temple.

The polution and fog have been thick all week.

First stop on Wednesday was the Asan factory tour.

No photography past this point 😢 I could have spent days just in the factory.

It takes 21 hrs to build one car from start to finish and a new car drives off the assembly line every 54sec.

After the Asan factory we went to lunch in a revolving restaurant overlooking a port and holding yards.

Then off to Hyundai Steel manufacturing. There are 3 blast furnaces and (forget how many) Electric Arc furnaces. 62% of raw iron ore is from Australia.

Again no photography so 😢

And last thing we did on Wednesday was visit a Traditional Korean Folk Village.

And lastly for now a few random bus shots.

cruiserfied · **Reply #38: October 22, 2015, 16:03:56**

Thursdays pictures maybe in the morning. Im going to sleep now.

62% Aussie Iron Ore, I trust when you are crowned the winner you will ensure the figure is closer to 100%.....

Thanks Tim , great photos, makes me appreciate the nice clear air we get in Aussie.

Thanks for sharing, Tim. I've only been to South Korea once, that was in 2005 and was to Pusan (Busan) in the South of South Korea. From my memories, the Koreans are all very friendly people. We had a great experience been shown around the local mountains and restaurants by a local businessman, who needed to bring an interpreter. Magnificent scenery and hospitality.

BTW, they still hold a grudge against the Japanese.
