Toyoko Inn Busan No.1

... I think I've had some success, especially with one of my favourite students 'Sam' who emailed me expressing his surprise at the announcement. As a tribute, I devoted half of my speaking class on the following Monday to the era of Britpop 1994-1997, with the students showing a particular penchant for Common People by Pulp!<br><br>I was still coming to terms with the break up of my childhood heroes when I had a chance encounter with Chi, a new ...

... at the beach after watching some Christian event on the beach. Back at the train station I waited for Jamie and Apryl to get coffee. As a I stood at the base of the station by myself a beautiful blond flashed me a smile so I approached her. Elizabeth is a German who was passing through Korea on her way home to Germany after being in Australia for a year after taking a year off university where she aspires to learn Chinese. We talked like old friends even ...

... this temple and the Japanese ones that I have seen was that Beomeosa is much more colorful. In addition, there were more depictions on the exteriors and the roof structure was slightly different. I had never seen a wide angle between the line that goes to the top vertex of the roof and the one that goes to the lowest vertex. Beomeosa was located near the Northern Gate of a mountain-top fortress. We started hiking. Once we reached ...

... of Busan from the subway gives me some optimism and hope for this place to be the best in terms of neat and tidyness... Little Tokyo perhaps? Close up this is far from the truth. Venice got nothing on this place. Stinky everywhere. More rubbish on the street. This is the 2nd largest city in South Korea and could have great potential. Characters are running here too. Typical, we are lost looking ...

... di mesi a questa parte e' diventato un'impresa ardua. Le ambasciate non accettano richieste se non accompagnate da un biglietto aereo di andata e ritorno e la conferma delle prenotazioni alberghiere per tutta la durata del soggiorno in Cina: entrambe le cose sono per me impossibili da ottenere, visto che non ho intenzione di volare e soprattutto non so quale itinerario seguiro'. Ma forse, smanettando un po' in Internet, ho trovato una scorciatoia! Speriamo bene.

... eat restaurant that had Russian writing on the outside of it. All you could cook and eat cost each of us $6. We stayed at the Paradia Motel on Haeundae beach one night. It was pretty nice and had a 45" flat screen television and a surround sound speaker system in our room. Plus the Jacuzzi tub was huge and had a stand up shower with mini pulse spray heads in the stand up shower. Of course there was no shower curtain because that's the way it is in Korea.

... impressed with the designs and structure of the temple although I still wouldn't be able to tell you the visible difference between a Korean, Chinese, or Japanese temple. I guess it's almost as bad as saying, "All Asians look alike". "Oh no he didn't! I can't believe he just said that!" lol After the temple we went to the more modern part of town and checked out the trendy university areas where we came across hundreds of designer clothes and a ...

... s nélkül, s látják, hogy ott van több nagy táska (mert még nem pakoltunk ki), meg ott alszik egy ember az ágyban, akkor nem magától értet&#337;d&#337;, hogy vannak a szobában!!?? S ezek után meg még rám akarnak törni, mert &#337;k megakarják javítani a WC-t. S az mellékes, hogy éppen ott vagyok, mert ugye az sem alapvet&#337;, hogy valaki azért van benn a fürd&#337;ben, mert WC-re megy vagy fürdeni akar! na, ez megint kulturális sokk volt. Utána le is mentem az irodába ...

... English movie was shown in the war memorabilia hall, for which we were the only two watching (in fact, the whole cemetery was pretty much empty). The movie was short, but very well put together. We learned that the Korean War was the very first U.N. war. As we looked for the subway, we saw a huge driving range, and thought it might be fun to hit a couple of balls before returning to our hostel. After hearing the price (over $20 a person), we ...
