Harry in South Africa

Harry is on a short visit to South Africa as a part of a small team reviewing the Centre of Excellence on Strong Solids, on behalf of the South African National Research Council. This is his first visit.

The journey began at 6 a.m. when Harry went by bicycle to his office at POSTECH to recover the camera, then by taxi to Pohang Airport for the flight to Gimpo. From Gimpo to Incheon Airport by a one hour bus ride. Left from Inchoen for Hong Kong at 3 p.m. and then from Hong Kong to Johannesburg at 1145 p.m., to arrive in South Africa at 7 a.m. on the next day.
