Day 6: Into the city

After a free day, we had a busy schedule for today, with two visits planned. The first visit of the day was at the Dutch embassy located in Seoul. Here we were greeted by an alumnus of the University of Twente, Peter Wijlhuizen. He is the Innovation attaché at the embassy. We discussed many very interesting topics, such as work culture, emancipation, LGBTQ acceptation and history.

Afterward, we went to the Hyundai Motorstudio in Goyang. Here we had a delicious Korean lunch, and afterward we had a guided tour on the safety features of modern Hyundai cars and the process of designing the cars. This tour had a twist, as there were no more English tours available for the day. Thus, Google Translate saved the day, as it allowed us to at least understand parts of the tour.
