Trouble with Roxy

As I said last post... I have been a delinquint blogger, so time to catch you all up with our experiences on Day 2 back in Korea.
We simply went to go to do the shopping. We started our car easily, gave it a pat and told her she was a good girl because she hadn't been started all holidays.
We pulled onto one of the busiest roads in Daejeon and Roxy died!
Right in the middle of the traffic.
After trying to start her again, we worked out it was a lost cause. We then decided we would slip it into neutral and push it off the road (because as you can imagine, the traffic was backed up and there was a lot of tooting)
However, Roxy decided that she would just get jammed in Park- so no pushing this car.
So here we are, coming up to peak hour traffic stuck in the middle lane of a 4 lane road.
In between bouts of traffic I managed to get the kids out and onto the side of the road, then called TCIS to get some help.
Pam... we love you!
We had all of our papers in the glove box (thank God) and so she rang the insurance company for us to get a tow.

This is the crazy road where we go stuck. Imagine me standing in the second lane redirecting traffic.

Mr Koo helping Peter. Love the automatic tow trucks here!

Within minutes Mr Kim and then Mr Koo arrived and then the tow truck and all was fixed.
Mr Koo organized to have the car fixed and transported back to us. Just as we got into his car to get a lift... the rain bucketed down.
It was quite a day 2, but we were so lucky to have the TCIS classified staff on our side! They truly were our heroes!
