Cheongnamdae

Election day was a holiday and in the morning we got a phone call asking us if we would like to visit a prison. The word "custody" was also mentioned! As the caller turned out to be the father of Colin's three private students who are really great we agreed with a great deal of curiousity to go. We were driven to a bus terminal, tickets were purchased and we climbed onto a bus. After a very pleasant drive around the shores of a lake we arrived at what turned out to be a "Presidential Retreat"!! We can understand how "presidential" becomes "prison" but what "custody" was meant to be we still don't know. The following Tuesday was also a holiday (Memorial Day) and our young friend Da-ae asked us if we wanted to go to a "Rest Home" and mentioned the word "present" so we were well armed and asked her if she meant "Cheongnamdae" to which she said she did.
Cool sculpture made out of bits and pieces.

Maybe Mark Inglis needs to visit here for new stumps!
