DAY 16 (July 27 2010): Slow Day

Because of rain, we didn’t get too much done today. We basically did two things: poured more concrete and moved small stones to be put in the first base (the pearl portion of the park).

"Noooo!"

We carried the concrete by wheel barrows

The sky was looking very stormy, and the waves in the ocean were angry. And in the middle of laying down the concrete, it started to shower.

Lunch was cooked grinded beef, yellow radish, kimchi cucumber, salad, etc. I’m curious why we have a lot of meat at a women diver’s restaurant where they collect seafood. I don’t really remember having a lot of seafood except seaweed.


That cucumber is my favorite actually.

In the afternoon, we smoothed the concrete and moved many stones to the pearl portion of the park so we could work on it easier once the weather clears.

We came home earlier than usual today, and had a meeting in the basement to discuss our progress and some of the techniques we are using at the construction site. It seemed that a lot of the architecture students do not actually go outside and build buildings, so this must be a great opportunity for them to learn what it is to physically build buildings.



We got some more insights about the construction techniques we are using to build the park

Dinner was at a western restaurant (second time) and we had Korean wine! It was the first time I drank Korean wine and frankly it was very tasty. Very rich and fruity. I think I had too much wine (as usual). The dish was fried pork chop.

No chopsticks! (but yes Kimchi)
