The drive to Icheon

Taking a really sweet taxi from the airport to my destination, I was
able to look around and click some fun shots. My first impression was that it's flat and there's lots of water and lots of bridges. Travelling alongside the waterway I stopped counting the number of bridges...

Not only bridges, but lots of tall apartment buildings that were so close together and all looked alike. So what would happen if you came home tipsy???

And since this was an Olympic site in 1988 I think, what would this blog be without the Olympic bridge! Looks more like a tower but it's really a pointy grey golden gate.


And after seeing more and more water and flatlands, I hit the mountains. First thought, wow cycling must be great. NOT! I don't think there are actually roads up these piles or rock and the humidity of this place at this time of the year is unbearable. Well, maybe not unbearable but something that takes a few days to get used to before you can walk 5 minutes without sweating like you're on a trainer...

Time to restart the posts!

Well I am in Korea and it's definately an experience. I'm here for work and that's basically all myself and my coworkers are doing. It's like going back to university. We can have all three meals at our customer site and it's open 24 hours a day. And we are here until the wee hours of the evening. Unlike university though, I need badges to get in, and we all walk around in slippers. No shoes inside other than the front lobby.

I've got to present in 15 minutes, but I was so excited I found a way to get access to the outside world that I had to post. We are not allowed to bring in anything that has memory on it so I have no electronics and all my internet email accounts are blocked. But alas, I guess they didn't think of the blog. Well I only thought of that one this morning.

so, more later and I hope to start these again...
