Day 2: internship:

We started from Suwon to Seoul on 7:15 AM (Korean time). The program was given a day before with details. The HR manager, Cris came to our room at 7:20AM and dropped us at Samsung Central Gate. There we met another two Chinese interns (forgot their name).
After getting into bus I tried hard to enjoy the company of other interns but fell asleep for three hours. Due to heavy traffic we reached Seoul in three hours. The program at Seoul was even fixed and was run accordingly. After Peter’s (an HR manager at for Samsung at Seoul) presentation we moved to a place at Seoul and then to the Seoul tower. We were lucky to get a little demonstration of the changing guards at doors of the palace. The soldiers were wearing a colorful traditional dress.

The palace was really interesting, as mostly it was made up of pine wood and has lots of paintings on that. All the palaces do have some common things, such as a screen reading table and folding partitions. Except king all other officers have to sit on floor. One king I forgot his name use to held his public meetings and ceremonies at 3:00AM. I do wakeup at 5:00 AM but cannot go to solve others problem at that time. There was an artificial pond and a banquet hall. Right behind the King’s palace Queen’s residence was there and behind that there was a garden. At the end of the palace you can find a museum and some statues of Chinese zodiac signs and few others.

The next hop was Seoul tower, one of the tallest towers in Korea and in the world. The lift was amazing, it was moving with the speed of 300 mph. Within no time we were there at the top of the tower and the whole Seoul was in front of us. The distances to different countries from Seoul were given, and we found that the path given to us was far larger than the direct path. Do check this distance and the path we traveled.

New Delhi --- Seoul (nearly 4500 Km)
New Delhi --- Singapore ( nearly 3500Km)
Singapore --- Seoul (nearly 4000Km)
Traveled path: New Delhi  Singapore  Seoul

After seeing these distances we felt that it was really a long and tiring path we were traveling on. Thanks to Sriram (HR Samsung India, HR manager). After this started to move for Suwom and reached just within two hours. Even during returning I slept tight till we reach our office. Cris dropped us to home and told that this the last time he is giving us a rid in his car and from next onwards we have to do things on our own. After reaching home, we moved around to search for an internet cafe to give a safe reaching message to our family members.

Slept thinking about another orientation day at Samsung Suwon Korea.
