Day 6 Friday, March 21, 2008
On this day we visited the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ). This was an amazing experience for me. We toured their building and was able to see future developments in Korea that will be a great way to upscale any business plan.
Day 5 Thursday, March 20, 2008
We walked alongside some of the Han River and went shopping in Myongdon Namdamin Market and ate at another Korean House.
Day 4 Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Today we visited the Hyundai Motors and Ship Building
Some differences in Hyundai in Montgomery and Korea are that Hyundai Plant in Montgomery has 2,000 employees and operates mostly on robots and the Hyundai Plant in Korea has 34,000 employees and manually assembles their cars.

Day 3 Tuesday, March 18, 2008
We visited the Posco Steele plant company in South Korea. We mostly visited this plant by touring on the bus and it went faster than I expected. This plant covered so many acres it’s almost impossible to do this tour in one day by foot. Some of the plant were indoor while most of it was outdoor. We were able to go inside of part of the plant was indoor and see how sheets of steel is made. There were lots of heat wave and fast acting machines but overall it was a great experience to have. Then as souvenirs we received gold manicure sets made from Posco.
Day 3 Monday, March 17, 2008
After a wonderful night of rest and relaxation, we enthusiastically awakened to be greeted and filled with a buffet breakfast at the hotel. This consisted of a variety of Korean foods from rice to Kimchi, eggs to ready to make omelets fresh vegetables and fruits, juices and coffee and too much to name and even choose from.
After breakfast we then were on our way to Chung-Ang University (CAU) to for the signing of the official memorandum of agreement between Alabama state University and Chung-Ang University. We arrived at CAU and were again greeted kindly into a room that had complimentary cups of juice and tea for everyone. The juice was for the students and the tea was for the faculty that attended. Each person was also handed CAU bags that had some CAU paraphernalia in them for us to keep as souvenirs. We then saw a short video about the University and some of its future plans. It was here where we learned that there are two locations for CAU (one concentrating in Biology-where we just visited and one concentrating in Information Technology).We presented them with a gift from our University, took pictures and then moved to the second site of where they had another CAU but the main concentration here was more specifically geared toward Information Technology.
When we arrived at the CAU for Information Technology we were led right into Dr. Sang-Man Lee’s class. They welcomed us and we then had to introduce ourselves to them. This was a great experience. They were so polite, no disruptions, no cell phones were ringing, no one got up to leave the room, and they were also very attentive. Dr. Vaughn spoke to them and it was over from there.
