The Tuesday program was arranged by Jinju Chokseok Rotary Club, which is Jinju´s largest Rotary Club. We started out with a visit to the City hall meeting the mayor of Jinju. We were all dressed up in suits and nice dresses except one member of the Korean delegation, who arrived in a Redface winter jacket. As we later learnt was he the Korean version of Karsten Ree – very rich, very interested in many different projects and a man who only does what he like and dresses as he cares.
The visit at city hall went well and after visiting a company making nature medicine from bell flower did we drive out to Korean Mr. Ree´s ranch. Here we attended a traditional Korean tea session, which was quite cool. (We hope to be able to perform such sessions in Denmark, with the tea sets received from a six time black belt Judo Master!!) Later did he invite Lotte for a horseback ride on an electronic horse! We had made a small house in his garden with the sole purpose of containing his electronic horse J We ended the visit with a half hour 4WD drive on the ranch, going up and down the mountains surrounding the ranch.
The day was successfully ended with a presentation of Denmark for the Rotary club and a trip to the local karaoke bar. The Koreans might seem very formal at first sight, but they for sure loosen up when the Karaoke gets going J
Roger and over – yet an inspiring day in Korea.

Just wanted to say keep posting : ) It is nice to read about all your cultural experiences. It sounds like you had an interesting day. The Rotary clubs are looking after you all very well. An electronic horse sounds like a new invention. Do you have a photo of the electronic horse?
