GIN-land-ea

From leaving Laragne to arriving in Seoul was a 24 hour journey and now I am finally in MunGyeong where the World Cup starts next week.

Somewhere over the Alps

After being collected from the Airport bus we drove directly to GIN HQ and then to the local landing field to meet Taro.

I mentioned to Gin that he needs some new rules at the site behind the company offices - the first gliders I saw were from Gradient and Aircross!!

The Korean league starts tomorrow in MunGyeong so we loaded up the GIN team pilot bus and set off ...
The journey was broken by a dinner stop and some SPICEY Korean tofu stew with Kimchi , rice and seawood, I think the guys were quite surprised that 1.I liked it and 2.could actually eat it - all! By the end of the time I am here I should be acclimatised to real spicey stuff and be a bit more proficient with the chop-sticks!

The second intro to Korean life was in the toilets - a heated seat and a full menu of available toilet services!!

loo with 'options' ;-)

Talking with Taro afterwards he told me that the integrated toilet machine was originally a Japanese invention but when the designers started out they weren't actually sure where the bidet function aimed since it was a 'lady-thing' ;-) and needed redirecting for the male form. So purely in the interests of scientific research, they visited strip-clubs to get a closer look at the relevant parts of the female anatomy! :D

Now I am in a great apartment with #3. new experience; a traditional sleeping mat on the floor - these next weeks are going to be very good for my back!
