Now in Korea, it almost feels like we are going back to normal life. On August 21, 2020, as COVID-19 seemed to be expanding for a long time, I am writing this again because I wanted to leave behind various experiences such as fear and worry.
Before leaving, I was confused by many thoughts. I was scared, it was too dangerous to go with the staff, so I decided to go alone and left...
During the Hong Kong DSD SCISTW SUPER-VISOR, three people went and had fun, but this time, I am alone.

PCR Corona Test
The reason I go alone is simple. The thought that if I get caught, I'll get caught alone.
At that time, Korea had 50 million people and 20,000 infected people, but Bahrain had 1.7 million people and 50,000 infected people.
I called the Korean embassy in Bahrain and they told me not to come because they couldn't help me at all.
There are no Koreans living there, and Bahrain is said to be in a difficult situation in many ways.
In the end, it would be difficult for our own citizens if they were caught, so I wondered if foreigners would be able to take care of it as well.
However, it's an appointment and I have to go.
I had to participate in the final test drive and check various things, so I decided to go, informed them of my flight ticket and schedule, and went through the inspection.
I think that is the mission of VEOLIA’s trust in choosing us.
First, on August 21st, before departure, I went to a hospital that issued an English medical certificate and took a COVID-19 test.
Dubai Airport said I had to have a medical certificate issued within 48 hours to pass, so I got tested on Friday and left on Monday, so it was a close call.
In Bundang, Jesaeng Hospital was available, so I visited the screening clinic early, but there were many people waiting.
Corona test preparation and content
Chronic now? It didn't feel like a big deal because it was so close, but at that time, I often thought that if I got caught, I would be dead.
The test fee is 150,000 won, and a medical certificate is issued after paying an additional fee and meeting with the doctor.
Incheon Airport
Arrived at Incheon Airport to go to Dubai! !
When this arrived at Incheon Airport, although it was an incomparable era, a scene that was very different from December 2019 occurred.
Dubai, where I arrived at 4:25 in the morning on August 26th, and Dubai Airport are a completely different world from before.
You have to wait here for 12 hours and then take a flight to Bahrain.
There's no one around and it's cold with the air conditioner on.
I stopped by a duty-free shop to buy a top, and when I looked at various items and touched one, the clerk came and started making a fuss.
They say you should dry your skin if you touch it because it is COVID-19. Should I give it a blow dryer?
I just bought something I touched.

After purchasing, I looked on the Internet and found that it was cheaper on the Internet.
However, I can't sleep because it's so cold that I have all my luggage and only my laptop next to me.
After many twists and turns, I arrived in Bahrain.
I paid for 2 doses of COVID-19, got tested, and installed the app.
After checking the app, you can only go to the site if there are no problems.
Bahrain city seen from the hotel
While waiting at the hotel, I realized that it was Friday.
The person in charge suggests sleeping on site on Sunday.
Why Sunday?
That's right. In Arab countries, Friday and Saturday are holidays.
We went to the site on Sunday and proceeded with the schedule of inspecting each item, starting with civil engineering.
Everyone went prepared with a laser measuring device.
This is because it can be measured alone.
And as a Korean product, the most important thing is reliability.
With field colleagues...
As expected, I personally experienced the outstanding performance of the KF94 mask....
Sweat does not escape and accumulates and flows freely. 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon...
But there is a quantity limit when it comes out. If there were more than 30, you had to get tested.
When I teach the workers I work with how to use the laser measuring device, they find it fascinating and have fun.
So, on the way back to Korea after a week of 10-day SUPER-VISOR from departure to arrival, I had to lie down on the plane because there was only one person in a row.
Dubai airport upon return
The airport almost feels like a charter???
After arriving in Korea, I took a quarantine taxi and spent two weeks in quarantine.
We wish good health to those who worked with us overseas.
It was a period when I really felt how precious the everyday life I lived without feeling anything was.
