Korea Day One

Korea Day 1

Landing in Korea and passing through Immigration was quite uneventful. A little rocky on the landing in Busan, Immigration was quick and painless, and baggage claim was super easy. Having paked two suitcases I was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to identify them as they came down the turnstyle. Loaded on the cart they passed through with ease, one simple question "anything to declare?" with a prompt no I was on my way.

coming out into the arival hall I quickly b-lined to the forex and exchanged some cash, passed through the exit doors to see a giddy andrew and brenda. Heading outside we loaded the bags into the car...this was the first frightening experience in Korea...Andrew was driging the car!

The ride to from Pusan to Hamyang was good, Andrew had not forgotten how to drive. the road system was very developed. Every so often there were these speed camera's, the inboard GPS would flash as you approached the speed cameras notifying you that you were travelling to fast, you could tell that all the GPS's did this as the other cars on the road would slam on there breaks to make sure they did not get photographed speeding. As each car passed through it was like the start of the Indy 500, everyone seemed to slam on the gas until the next speed camera.

After arriving at the house, we caught up for a bit, had a few glasses of Hite and hit the hay.
