Friday - Cargotec visit, fantastic buffet lunch and team 1&2 activities

Since October we had an invitation to the Cargotec factory and that we managed to have on Friday. The 35 year old history of Hiab in Korea was interesting to hear and the factory tour showed a clean environement where eg hardhats were used. The CEO, Mr Heikki Ranta, has lived in Korea 24 years and was able to answer the questions that were still puzzling us.
One was that we still see new dishes at most buffets, after one month in Korea.
He said he's not surpriced, as it occationally also happens to him after 24 years!

The recycling cranes and waste management equipment was stressed and that is an area that seems underdevelopped in Korea, in comparison to other countries. Using more of them would clean up the cities further.

Next we went to lunch. Originally the team had planned for this to happen downtown for starting shopping right after it. However, as so often, plans change and we were driven to a suburb mall. The lunch at "Jolie Maison" was a superb buffet.
We then separated so that Suntae Kim would take Calce to the dentist and the rest of the team would go with our guide Jerry to do shopping downtown. We agreed to be in two separate teams with separate routes.

Well, there was a lot of confusion that afternoon... in the end everything worked.
Calce got his tooth refixed. He got to have coffee at Suntae's printshop and the two even managed to do a 1h+ mountain hike!
The others found the needed suitcases and shopping was conducted downtown.

Dinner was held at the hotel. We were joined by Tony, the teacher that was on the GSE group that came to Finland. Hehun also came for a quick visit bringing a big box of cupcakes for us! Gam-sa-ham-ni-da!
