Changwon 0409 thru 0413

Today was great - Korean Broadcasting Station, rifle range, pizza, Doosan Heavy Industries, Pullman Hotel. I didn't know what was in store for me when I applied for a GSE slot. The things we've done have all been incredibly different, but a great deal of fun.

Here's a short list of things I'd never done before GSE: traveled for 25 hours, visited Asia, worn a hardhat, fired a 12-gauge, stood under a crane that could haul 300 tons, participated in a Buddhist service, dressed like a monk, practiced a golf swing at an indoor driving range, had a conversation using a Korean/English dictionary, eaten squirming octopus....

All that, and we've got three weeks to go. I can't WAIT to see what they bring!
