Moon Hwa Tourist Hotel Busan

... light turning left. I looked at my uncle and based on his reaction it seemed the motorcycle driver was in the wrong but I guess the rules of driving are a lot different here. I have driven in New York City and Los Angeles, and the driving here is way more scarier than any of those. After we came home we picked ...

... just said we had a schedule to keep to but thank you. Then we went to go try some eel. Preston said grilled eel wasn't very bad and ate a good amount of it. That was the end of that day.

The next day me and preston went for a morning run and it was starting to get humid but still a good run. Then started to get our things pack for our travels. Gwangju was our next stop and we went to ...

... They like * lot of lights. Moving lights. Signs where the lights d*nced on e*ch other, or spun *round the fr*me. Music would be pl*ying only the street from outside the clubs. You couldn't tell one street from *nother. At *ny crossro*d, you could look in *ny direction *nd see nothing but the s*me cr*zy over*bund*nce of people down it. Think of Bourbon Street in New Orle*ns. Now the buildings there *re 2, m*ybe 3, stories, *t best. AND, Bourbon St ...

... you'd prefer, and plan to do some cooking, you might want to bring them along, or have someone send them to you once you're settled. Good coffee is hard to come by, if you are particular. Deodorant is a must--plan accordingly for how long you plan to stay. I've done pretty well with what I've found in Korea, but there are still things that I miss. I've been making a mental list for months about what I'm going to pick up when I make my visit home in ...

... over the weekend, but alas no... He made a big to-do about it on Monday. I had to have my co-teacher talk to me, then the head teacher...THEN he came over to my desk and yelled at my co-teacher (in Korean mind you), and "ordered" her to tell me what he said ("Ordered" was her words). Something about respect...new sheriff in town....blah blah blah..... Great start Melisa.... It was 10 minutes....sigh...

THEN, about a week into ...

... beautiful, but a good buzz to the place. I get an early night ready for tomorrow's journey across the Sea of Japan. A bright sunny morning bids me farewell from Japan. I get down to the ferry terminal with plenty of time and get through customs. It feels strange moving again after 7 weeks in Japan. Onto the Beetle jetfoil and we are soon speeding across the sea. 3 hours later, the shape of Busan and South Korea looms outside the windows. After ...

... Bus Tour operates Western and Eastern Island Tour on alternate days. I was late for the Eastern Island Tour today but had happily settled with the Western Island Tour tomorrow which cost 35000 won or USD35 from 9am to 7pm. I took a walk down the main road in front of the hotel. Visited an E-Mart, a chain store in Jeju and perhaps South Korea. I came across the Gwandeokjeong which was sort of a palace for the ancient Korean Official. My ...

... Tempel besichtigt, der ziemlich neu ist aber in eine nge Felsschlucht gebaut wurde. Dann mit der Seilbahn hinunter und in das groesste Spa Asiens, habe es doch noch geschafft ein Bad aufzusuchen:-) Die Baeder waren aber nicht so heiss, zwischen 40 und 45 Grad. Man laeuft in Natura herum, ich war der einzige mit Haaren am Koerper (Koreaner haben keine Haare auf der Brust). An meinem zweiten Tag habe ich einige Maerkte besucht, Gupo Market, Fisch ...

... ve got the idea...flies, filth, and ooooooooh, the smell. See, Ken was right....it was a sight to be missed. Things didn't improve. We went to the shopping area. It was getting hotter. The sauna was in full operation. The liquid increasing the steam was from the fish market and the fish market was not that far away. We went to McDonald's and had a coke zero, contemplated our next move, and ...

... to exchange our voucher for the KR pass (railroad). As we waited in line, we realized that we forgot our passports. When we reached the counter, the woman didn't even ask for them. She snippily took our voucher and refused to give us any help or maps for the tickets. We had to go to the information center for train information. We found out that we needed to go to a different station to catch the two hour train ride to Gyeognju. The train ...
