The Last Week of My Korean Trip

I have had a reasonable trip here, the food was interesting, not the local food but the available international food, they have a barbecue style of restaurant which is very enjoyable, you get raw meat that you cook on a grill on your table, almost a barbecue, you eat as much as you want, all with Chopsticks and it is great fun, we like this so much as a group we do it maybe 3 times a week, we have also found a great thai restaurant, also a great little bistro that does the biggest burger i have ever eaten, the final place we eat at is a Turkish place,

The yard we are working in is just immense and like something out of a science fiction movie, everything is on a giant scale, building super-tankers is for big boys only, this could only have happened with government help, think of how Ford would build a car, and these build ships the same, bring all the semi finished pieces to an assembly line and it is finished in a couple of hours, here i saw a ship built in 5 WEEKS, yes it is incredible.

there are 30 thousand employees and many thousands of expat technical staff to assist from all countries around the world.

just take a look at some of the giant things here, the crane can carry a full section of a ship, 4000 tons.









This is my vessel, it is not a ship as it has no engines





It is over 1000 feet long




it goes on forever



How did that sneak in there again

and ever




this is about as big an engine you will ever get




these are some of the finished ships that are waiting to be paid for





Once i get back home after this week, I am busy for a few days doing all the family type things and then i fly away to my Costa Rican paradise holiday, for a whole month, then who knows what will happen in the new year, I may retire
