Day 2, Arrival Seoul

We also got a few hours of sleep, so after a rich breakfast and the next movie, we arrived in Seoul more or less recovered.

After completing the first formalities, we went to validate our accreditation. The RFID card was quickly attached, and the laminator was already warm enough, so this step was quickly done. The passport control, including photo and fingerprint scan, went smoothly as well. All the suitcases had arrived too. Lukas had a lock on his suitcase. He had to go to the security personnel, but he was allowed to keep his oversized pocket knife. The customs form was also filled out, so we could already go to the exit with our ski equipment. Peter was already at the exit, but without his ski equipment. He was not allowed to go back either. Hannes quickly realized the situation and took Peter's ski bag with him. Everything turned out fine once again. This can also be said about the reception. A neat Swedish person from OBS received the whole group at the airport and accompanied us to the luxury car. In the true sense of the word, it was equipped with comfortable seats that allowed for perfect sleeping. That's what almost everyone did, as the drive was only interesting at the beginning with an impressive bridge and several high-rise buildings.

After about 2.5 hours, we arrived at our destination, the Villa Condo in Yongpyong. With a few detours, we finally found our own apartment. They are very spacious. Everyone has their own room, bathroom, and living room, including a kitchen. That's the way to live.

After a little exploration, we had a reunion with the crew from St. Moritz. During the dinner together, we heard about their wild ride with the trucks from the port, the South Koreans who didn't build the platforms so that they could withstand all weather conditions, as well as their first culinary experiences. Tomorrow, in probably icy temperatures, we will get to know the downhill course for the first time.
