Our car and Michael's motorcycle finally arrived. Michael passed his Korean drivers test and now we were free to travel to places on our own - without depending on friends, taxis and the public bus system. After sitting on a ship for about 60 days, the batteries on both the car and the motorcycle were dead and not accepting a charge. Both needed new batteries. Getting a battery for our car was easy. We went to the OMG repair shop. For those of you who text on your mobile phones, yes, the shop's name, OMG, really does stand for Oh My God. Getting a motorcycle battery was not as straight forward.
January 30 we went to a real Korean BBQ with a group of friends. After the BBQ, Michael and I went out in search of a Motorcycle repair shop.
We had been told the approximate location of the shop. We had also been told that it was nearly impossible to find. I became the trusty navigator and we successfully found the shop where Michael was able to order a battery for his Harley. Below are some of the sights we saw along the way. There appears to be little or no zoning in the areas outside the cities. Industrial will be right next to a Nursery school, apartments and stores. There is also a lot of variance between the upkeep of adjecent homes and apartment buildings. I've cropped the below pictures to eliminate some of the surrounding areas that detract from the beauty of this home. Although we were told that Koreans live in apartments unless one is very wealthy, it appears that many or most farmers have homes. The below home was adjacent to some fields of rice paddies.
