Day 2

Today we went to Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea and experienced so many neat things. It really is hard to tell about our day. I will try and pick out some highlights.

To start the day, I need to write about getting to the expo. We left our little motel and headed towards the expo; the plan was to park at a park 'n ride and take a bus to the expo. The parking seemed too far from the expo so Andrew kept driving, then it was too late so we thought we would just park in a lot at the site. That didn't pan out either and we ended up on a street and just parked our car there (it is a very Korean thing to just park your car whereever, there were lots of cars parked on the side of the street also). By the end of the day when hoards of people were coming out of the expo, we second guessed our parking but it ended up getting us back to the hotel rather quickly.

Big O show to finish the night

Elanor's favorite part was a picture taking machine that took your picture then placed it on a huge digital screen above you that depicted the ocean.

My favorite section was where we saw past water transportation and then the future of water transportation and living. They had a life size sunken ship that we could climb around. There were also barrels of spices and plates/cups to show us how things were transported.

The future was pretty cool. One ship that we didn't get a good picture of was a submarine/houseboat that could change and be used in so many ways it was neat. This picture is of an underwater city with each villa in its own bubble.

Cute Charlotte, there were lots of places to take a picture of you with a digital background

The expo had a huge international pavilion where different countries of the world could put on their own display. The picture below is from Peru's pavilion.

There was so much other stuff we did but this was a taste of our very long day.
