Korea, 28 Oct 2010, Day 1, Close Encounter with Korea Immigration


6am: Korea, here we come! Or so we thought ... we barely made it pass immigration.

Immigration was extremely concerned that the domestic helper would not leave Korea. We were taken aside for separate interviews, to ensure corroboration of facts. I finally had to give an undertaking to ensure the helper left the country, failing which, I would myself be detained.

But, we finally made it, anyway! Yippeeeee!!!

All that took almost an hour and our poor Korean guide, Tommy, and the boss of WowCorea, Elvis, who had personally turned up to ensure that we would be properly settled were kept waiting. They had brought 2 vehicles with them so that we could test out which would be more convenient for our use!
Here's the car we chose:

 
After some trial and error, we managed to pack 2 wheelchairs, all our luggage, and ourselves, into the car.


We were now all set to go!
