Last Day of POSCO and On to Pohang!

It's difficult to believe that we've already spent 6 weeks in Korea, and finished our internship at POSCO, especially since I'm nowhere near caught up with blog posts!  I wrote a little piece on my other (slightly neglected) blog tonight, just thinking about our time here.  Shhh, don't tell Fire that its birthday came and went.  I'm waiting for the time (and oven!) to celebrate properly.  Speaking of celebrations, though, our departments at POSCO kindly sent us off with a dinner party.  Our mentors and even the head of the Product Applications Center (very, very, very important person!) invited us to a dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.  We even got a private room!

I'm sorry about your head, Jay!

POSCO has been terrifically kind to us since we arrived.  Plopping off a handful of college students amongst busy engineers and researchers, three of whom do not speak the language and asking said busy engineers and researchers to give them work is quite a task.  Our mentors have been incredibly patient and friendly, as have been the bosses and staff.

Today, we capped off our internship with presentations by each of us.  The employees were kind enough to ask us our thoughts on the program and our experiences, and then we were presented with lovely certificates of program completion.  Believe it or not, the cover that holds the certificate is blue velvet.

It's so beautiful, just like POSCO's buildings :)

And so we bid a fond farewell to POSCO.  POSTECH, here we come!
