Another day another factory, or so we thought. Today we visited the Hyundai motor company in South Korea, it was quite fascinating , in comparison to the site in Montgomery it was problably 3 times as big, but because it's so old it doesn't have anywhere near the technology. We watched a short video about the whole operation, and then got to take a look at the future of Hyundai motors. In the near future they will be introducing a new vehicle titled the Genesis, which is being produced to compete in the market with Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW. Like I said the plant was huge they showed all the different aspects from the paint shop, to the final assembly, to the lot where the vehicles are loaded on to the ships. Once we finished the tour we headed to Mc Donald's for a little lunch, and piece of mind. We had a couple of minutes after lunch so our tour guides told us we could go look around the Hyundai Department store, I thought the cars were nice, the department store put sham to anything I had seen in the States, In a nut shell they had all the top designers, at all the top costs.
Next we headed to the Hyundai Heavy Industries for a tour of the shipping yard. I have a personal interest in ships which made this part of the trip all the more exciting. We saw everything from propellers the size of houses to ships the size of malls. In the museum inside the tour area we also got a look at the world's future cities which was very cool cause i had just watched a program the week before we left documenting the same concepts.
