Busan, Korea was the destination.
The Kyani 2014 Asian Convention was held at the Bexco Convention Center.
Before everyone's arrival, David Nash and the Korea team were working hard for the largest and most exciting Kyani event ever to happen.
The team never had a moment to rest as they were organizing the "kick off".
The set-up of the great hall was extensive.
The banners had to be hung properly.
Once all of the "behind the scenes" activities were on their way, the "in front of the camera" activities were starting. The first event was the Blue Diamond Celebration.
The "cocktail" of the evening was Sunrise with soda. Hmmmm. It tasted great!
Carl Taylor came all the way from Idaho to attend the festivities.
People from Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, USA, and Japan were only a few of the nationalities in attendance.
Men and women were handsomely and beautifully dressed for the event.
Everyone was thrilled to have the CEO, Michael Breshears; owner, Kirk Hansen; and owner, Carl Taylor in attendance.
Our trusty cameramen; Trevor and Brad with Kent.
Let's not forget Yuki Hamai's photographic skills from the Japan office alongside Kirk and Kent!
Once the "hob-nobbing" was over, dinner was served.
The dinner was artwork beautifully designed on each plate.
Michael and Kent were hiding behind the flowers..... ummm, Guys! We still see you!
The entertainment was incredible and so enjoyable.
The next day was the Asian CEO Council luncheon.
Everyone say "cheese"!
That evening was the "Kyani's Got Talent" night.
Kent Derricott hosted the event with Jiyoung, one of Korea's best anchor women, at his side.
How many of you can flip your heads like these Korean guys can? This was amazing!
I'm sure they were all standing there with headaches once their performance was over!
These girls from Taiwan practiced and practiced to be ready for the event. Great job, girls!!
Afterwards, the people swarmed to have their picture taken with the owners and leaders of the company.
Cameras were clicking at every turn!
What would Kyani do without Janeen?
These guys work each and everyday for the success of Kyani. Thank you for all you do!
The next day was the start of the convention at Bexco Convention Center. What a cool place!
The introduction performance of a Taekwondo team was amazing.
Next Kent and Jiyoung came out on stage
and introductions were made.
David, you are magical! The event couldn't have happened without you. Thank you!
Kyani Caring Hands was talked about. What a great thing this company is doing for those who need help.
People from all over Asia were in attendance.
They were educated on the Sunrise.....
Awards were given......
People were taught about the Sunset.....
Jokes were told and games were played......
People were educated on the Nitro FX.......
Carl introduced us to his ranch and farm.......
...and he gave us some great advice and encouragement.
Kirk Hansen gave us some encouraging words, but for some reason, his picture on stage didn't turn out. Sorry Kirk!
We were motivated by one of NBA's finest trainers in the world. He was amazing.
The next evening, more awards were given.....
So what was this all about? Girls screaming, wanting to break through the barrier and run up on stage. So what could it be?
People were mesmerized....... Who is on stage?
One of the hottest K-pop groups in all of Asia!!
And one of the greatest all-time Korean female singers performed. It was awesome!
After the awards, games, fun, performances, and "thank you's" were over.......
Good-byes were said to everyone, including the Richard Park family, and
goodnights weren't left unsaid.
It's been a great time in Busan with Brad and Bruce!
As the wrap-up happens after the event.....
smiles reflected the feeling of accomplishment.
Until we meet again!
The next day, everyone began their adventures home.
For us, we were treated at a delicious restaurant before we left Busan.
Bruce, one of the security detail, and our driver, Mr. Lee, took great care of us. Thank you for all that you did for us.
We packed our bags and said our good-byes to these two beautiful women who were the keys to our success with transportation and lodging. They were incredibly organized and without error.
Thank you to the Korean Kyani staff for.....
making sure we got to the airport safely. Thank you for the great Busan experience!
We definitely experienced more!
