Wow, that’s amazing. Koreans surprise me all the time. If an American accomplished that, it would’ve been on the national news. Oddly, I didn’t even see it on BBC and they are a bit better when it comes to international news.

Grand Slam is right! Hope there is a book in the works about this enduring adventure. Any other good links that go into more detail about this?!

DSD, this is the only link I’ve seen. I’d also be interested in some more details.
