On our fourth day in Korea, we toured the Hyundai Motors Plant and the Hyundai Heavy ship builders plant which is the largest ship builder in the world. These plants are located in Ulsan and as you can imagine this town is Hyundai town, it has a Hyundai Department stores and most jobs in the area are involved with Hyundai in one way or another. The Hyundai auto plant is an older plant and it makes it difficult to make comparisons to the Hyundai plant located in Montgomery, Al., because the plant at home has a great deal of automation and the plant in Korea has more personal hands on work. We were exposed to the plans for the future of Hyundai Heavy Industries and I am extremely impressed with the vision of the people in Korea. We were able to shop at the Hyundai Department Store before leaving to return to Seoul which turned out to be about a five hour drive away. We checked back into the Lotte World Hotel for our final days in Korea.
