moved in and busy

First off let me apoligize for the severe lack of updates over the last week. For all two or three of you that still check my blog, your patience is incredible. I'm going to make a more conscious effort to update this blog on a more regular basis. I'm hoping to do one status update each week and then one to two interesting observation type updates. That's the plan anyways, so we'll see how it goes.

Since the last update, I've moved into my apartment and been to work for three days now. Work has been good so far. I'm still getting accustomed to the work that I'll be doing and the layout of the facility, but I hope to have it all sorted out by the end of this coming week. Doosan Heavy is a very large facility employing a few thousand people in the Changwon area. I'll be working primarily in the nuclear shop, which is the smallest shop in the plant. The other good thing about working in there is that most of the employees speak (or understand) english.

Friday I worked a pretty late day (8pm) because I went out to visit one of Doosan's sub-suppliers for our project. This sub-supplier is performing some drilling and cleaning activities for a few of the components in the steam generator. It was a very interesting and educating trip, despite the long hours. The sub-supplier was located in Pusan which is the second largest city in Korea. Its located about 40 minutes to the northwest of Changwon. We didn't really get to see a lot of the city, but maybe next time.

Below are a few pictures of my apartment, in its current state:
