ActioNeter Visits 2018 Olympic Closing Ceremony in South Korea

By Miguel D.

Miguel D. is a Systems administrator for one of ActioNet’s Air Force Contracts located in South Korea.  He shares his recent experience at the Olympics in PyeongChang.

Miguel was impressed with the amazing coordination and work by ROK Staff and volunteers. Over 25,000 people joined forces to put the Olympic closing ceremony together.  The majority were Korean but some from abroad too. Miguel noted that they were helpful, friendly, energetic, and always went out of their way to be supportive. The trip to PyeongChang was a bit long but it was worth the effort to attend the closing ceremonies on Sunday, 25 February, 2018.

Transportation was definitely a big challenge.  Miguel took the KTX train, otherwise known as the “Super Fast Train” with speeds up to 147 mph!  Unfortunately, he missed his stop twice and then had to travel by bus for another 15 minutes before arriving at the Olympic grounds.   He was thankful for the Korea Train app to help navigate.
