BUSAN, South Korea: Finding the Busan 2002 Asian Games venues can become an ordeal because the venues are scattered all over Busan Metropolitan City and some are even located in the neighboring cities of Changwon, Masan Ulsan and Yangsan.

Two Indonesian reporters, trying to get to the Yangsan College Gymnasium in the neighboring city of Yangsan to catch a karate match involving Indonesian karateka Jeanny Zeannet Lolong, ended up at the wrong venue.

They arrived at the Yangsan Soccer Stadium instead. They asked for the correct direction from someone who could not have been better -- the Deputy Mayor of Yangsan, Kim Tae-hyung.

Realizing that the venue was some distance from the soccer stadium, Kim ordered his own driver to take the journalists to the gymnasium.--JP
