Back to “normal” life ....

Spending my second week, after returning from Sweden, on Yongsan Base, in the heart of Seoul, and had what we in Swedish call “full rulle”.




We started up with a quite relaxing weekend, were Anders made dinner and I could check my mail.


The weather was beautiful so we enjoyed twice several hours at the swimming pool (too hot to play golf….).


Tack, Daniel och Krister, riktigt kul att göra!

I started the week off with training, a goodbye luncheon for my leaving friend Fran,

followed up with a welcome dinner with Jeayeon Lee at my favorite restaurant. (Even managed some shoe shopping that evening ;)) And that was just Monday!










The rest of the past week was filled with training, a Yongsan Community Update Brief meeting,some golf (9-holes in drizzling weather), a tour to Osan (in order to to find the Airbase), a goodbye luncheon for the Finnish Ambassador to Korea, HE Pekka Wuoristo and his wife Ritva at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, flower shopping at Namdaemun, and a goodbye evening for the Minister and Deputy Head of Mission of the Swedish Embassy, Ulf and Julia Sörmark, held at the Ambassador of Sweden, HE Lars Danielsson’s residence.

                                                        

During the meeting we received information from: ACAP; DPW; UPH; DHL; FMWR; ACS; AFAB and even more.... Isn't military life exciting? What it all means?
"I don't know, John!"


What I did understand was that the reprecentative of transport, Mrs. Ki, Kye Hwa was "Hero of the Month"!


MANY DIGNITIES AND THEN...... Anders and I :)

Some training was definately required after 9 weeks golf break....

Surching for US Airbase in Osan...


Anja should ask for the way, nobody speaks English, hand and feet talk with eight Korean people resulted in....

a lot of laughter and no result!

  1. The weather in Sweden is not getting better, but the garden look good. Grass and flowers enyoy it.

    We are doing gates and fences so the dog can be out without be able to run out on the street.

    Just now we are enjoying a quiet evening in the pergola with candles and a beer after a lot of work today.
