Driving”Of Post”, destination; Sung Nam Golf Club & English Village.

It was high time to take the car for a spin “Of Post”. Our six cylinder car needed badly to exceed 20 miles per hour (40 km/h), which is the maximum speed on post.
Democratic driving scheduale; me from the Golf club home and to the Englsh Village, Anders the other way around.

Most of the people living on the American Base buy a so called “Base Car”, a designated car to only drive “On Post”. This combined with the strange laws Korea has if you get into an accident makes the inhabitants reluctant to drive outside the gates of Youngsan Base.
Not applicable for the “crazy-brave Swedes”. So this Saturday, when it finally was a rain-free day, we got up at five for a 9-hole golf round with Anne and John McDonnald and after that we cleaned ourselves up (hot & humid), we took off for a drive to the English Village. Although the traffic in Seoul was even early in the morning quite massive, we could speed up to triple the permitted speed on baseJ. Our little Mustang loved it and was spinning as a satisfied cat.
About 45 minutes drive from Seoul you'll find a typical English Village, set up to stimulate Koreans to learn English.







To make a long-distance call?









No! He found something much better, for what is an English Village without a pub!                                     


Everything but crowded, quite a nice change after roaming the streets of Seoul.
   

Where to go? Easy for we could for a change read the signs!
