ROAD DRAMAS IN KOREA

We had two mini buses in Korea which carted us from hall to hall and dinner to dinner. Either InDong, Daniel or Taeho would drive us to the training sessions. It was always fascinating travelling in both buses and here are some of the stories to read about....

STORY ONE - Taeho always liked to take the short cuts home – which ended up just taking longer! One evening after training he decided to try and skip all the traffic and drive in the emergency lane – a pretty good idea, because I’m sure the smell of sweat in the car for over an hour would be enough for anyone to curl over and die. Anyways – he was driving down the lane and BANG! Adam thought they hit a person and freaked out, whilst most others thought it was a gun shot. Bernie was just in complete shock! The only person to realise what happened was David (the Orthopaedist). He saw the sign travelling straight towards him, but thought Taeho would move out of the way. The sign hit the side vision mirror and smashed it into his side window! Hehe all of us back at the hotel had bit of a cackle when we found out! Not only did it take them about 40 minutes longer to get home but their secret of the smashed window was only a secret for about 30 seconds! Every day after that, there was complete laughter every time we thought back to that moment/or everytime Taeho mentioned the mirror! hehe the “classic coverup” of getting it fixed without anyone else finding out....do o do..it wasn't very effective!....:)

STORY TWO: And without fail the other bus Coach was driving had its dramas too! He accidently scraped another cars side door on parking at one o the venues! We barely even noticed scratching the very – very – very expensive black car, however since the Korean man was inside his vehicle at the time we did it, nobody could escape any blame. Hmmm I wonder how much that cost! YIKES!

STORY THREE: Kylie was hit by a motorcycle! She was walking along and out of nowhere a motorcycle roared down and hit her. Kylie was oblivious to what had happened, thinking that it was Jasmine pushing onto the road her rather than a bike hitting her! On a brighter note, I walked straight into a stationary motorcycle – I must say it has been one of my finer blonde moments to date.
