DAEGU SAFETY THEME PARK


An arsonist set the subway on fire back in 2003, which killed at least 198 people and injured at least 147. The incident happened in the morning of 18 Feb where most of the students were going to school and adults were going for work...

The burned subway No. 1079 is exhibited



Last words of the citizens...


The scene of the Jungangno station fire is restored and we were taught about the safety precautions and how to react in times of emergencies...




Left the place feeling a little heartbroken...

The hands-on and simulation exercises granted me with the knowledge of safety education. It was a fruitful trip as I learned something while enjoying myself.

PORK + CHICKEN + BEEF + MINCED MEAT = @_____@


Visited Hyundai Motors and toured around it's factory. (No photos allowed)
Once again, I was amazed by Hyundai's manufacturing process and operational system. I was also impressed by how it actually treasures it's manpower/employees and replaced them with machineries for high risk tasks.


The tour was really an eye-opener! I learned how the JIT system it adopts helped to satisfy it's market demand.




NAMSAN TOUR!!!!!!!

vvvvv disappointing.
Firstly, we were given too little time.
Secondly, it was too crowded. It was korea's tree planting day where middle schools organised excursions to theme parks.

I was very DETERMINED when I saw this ride and I told myself that no matter what, I MUST ride on this! Despite the longggggggggggggggggg queue, we still waited for it. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, (DENGDENGDENGDENG * sound effect) when it was going to be our turn, they made an announcement saying that: due to strong wind, the ride is temporarily suspended...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA *throws table
