The LG Mart office

Peter sent over a couple of shots he took of the LG Mart office in South Korea. Peter is the resident tech guy, DBA and problem-solver person on the project. He's South African so he speaks an english accent crossed with Afrikaans.

It's weird looking at these pictures now knowing that I won't probably be seeing these people again. They were a very nice bunch and they made my stay in Korea memorable.



Here is a nice shot of the office. There's a lot of us in there so there's not much personal space. I sit near where the camera would be. Almost everyone has a laptop and some of them are quite advanced and cool-looking. The sign on the far wall reads, "For the Future, Users and Ourselves." "All for One." "One for All." It kinda gives us a sense of importance (somewhat). Call it a morale booster during crappy days.



Mr. Chi-ho Choi. Accenture Korea consultant. Master of detail and documentation. He's a bit soft spoken but he knows his stuff.



Mr. Dongmin Park (a lot of people are named "Park" in Korea). LG Mart buyer. Also known as Mr. Starcraft to Jason and myself. He is part of a gang of four who spends their free time playing Starcraft. A very jolly, fun and wholesome guy.



Ms. Hyo Kim (a lot of people are also named "Kim") and a new girl. Most people do that V sign when they have their picture taken. It's a Korean thing. Oh, some say "kimchi" instead of "cheese" too.



Mr. Gun-il Son and Moon-Seob Son (no they are not related). Both are Accenture Korea. They are two of the guys I usually talk to. Gun-il is the guy you want to hang out with when fun and drink is involved. Moon-Seob is the avid mountain climber. He took me mountain climbing during my first week.



Mrs. Hwa Kim. LG CNS lead. LG CNS is the software/ tech/ consulting/ support company of the LG conglomerate. Some of our officemates jokingly call Mrs. Kim "ajuma" which means old lady because she's married and has a kid.
