Noodle Factory Trip

Back in February we went with Andy's company on a trip to visit President Park's place and the Nong Shim Noodle Factory. President Park was a former president of Korea.

This was at President Park's Place. Notice that the entrance door begins above my knees and extends only a few inches above my head. Certainly wasn't a big door. Look at the size of the items in the room. There would be way I would fit on them. Perhaps an infant might!
This was one of Andy's favorite rooms!Andy is standing in the Nong Shim Noodle Factory. We toured the facility and were able to see how they make the noodles. Most of the work is done electronically and through use of computers. The factory we were at employs less than 10 people. It was intersting to be walking through the factory and have to stop because a cart was rolling in front of you from one room of the factory to another! Technology!
We were all a little disappointed because we thought we were going to be given noodles to eat at the end of the tour and that ended up not being the case. Instead they gave each of us a box that included samples of their products (that are sold internationally). The picture above is the free samples that were in the box. After leaving the factory we were all hungry from watching noodles being made. We went to LotteMart, which is a HUGE department store. Within these stores are always a nice size food court. This store, as well as HomePlus and E-Mart, are all about 5 -7 stories high filled with mercandise. They carry anything from furniture to food. Andy likes to say that they would swallow a Wal-Mart and no one would even notice. After enjoying some Korean cusine, I decided I was going to figure out my size within the Korean sizing system. I wear a 100....doesn't that sound huge?
