Week 3 In Ulsan

I have been here for 3 weeks now and this is a large industrial city with one thing in common, it is Hyundai town, it is the largest shipbuilder in the world and it builds an awful lot of cars here also, but it is clean and well planned sort of and the Korean people are the most respectful nice people you could ever want to work for and visit, whenever we go out there is not a feeling of threat ever, some school kids don't leave until 10pm, yes I have actually seen them going home at 10pm at night, this would be unheard of in every country i have ever seen. The food is interesting, I do love the spicy noodles, the indoor barbecues are amazing, beer is OK, but the weather is letting this trip down badly, it has rained for almost 2 weeks, it turned a little bit nice over the weekend though, unfortunately it is an ugly boring town, meaning virtually no entertainment, if we want to do something in the city it is a 20 minute cab ride and then once you have walked about the city center then that is it, I have seen far too many ugly towns in my time and this is just another, Okpo where i working before Christmas was better as it was more rural and just more interesting.
The yard is amazing, just gigantic structures being moved about like it was a giant mechano set. The project i am on has some crazy designs and the control system of my turbines is just insane, with 3 separate controllers and all difficult to work on. Why do they want to make my life so difficult with these insane decisions.



I was planning on bringing my wife and little girl here for the summer but the job isnt going to last long enough so we are planning on 2 weeks in Tenerife, The Canaries.
