Busan Trip (28 Aug - 30 Aug 08)

yo yo yo sorry for those who have been reading my blog........... hehe havent been updating recently.... not being very busy but just being pure lazy........ heheeh >_<


ok let me briefly touched on my FIRST travelling outside of SEOUL!! oh yah FINALLY having lived here for abt a yr (return to sg n back) finally finally I went travelling! AND I meant out of SEOUL, to another city in KOREA!!! oh yah if u have been chatting wif me you will know the sad experiences i had whenever i planned to travel out of seoul....... seems like I am cURSed or wat....


But this time for REAL, I TRAVELLED OUT of SEOUL! all thanks to my lovely sister, who was in Korea for work purposes. She paid for my trip to Busan too.... TATS why i said I LUV my sis!!! hahahaha though it may not be a luxury holiday, its better than nothing!


We went to Busan by bus....... Took us about 4 hr 30 mins (ok lah shorter than travelling to Malacca I tink). WEnt to Beomosa Temple, Hot spring area, Haeeundae Beach, Seomyung Station, Bocheon Museum, Busan Fortress, Busan Museum and UN War memorial. OK I believed youngsters out there might think that these places r very boring bt mind you, I luv history so visiting museums r one of my favourite places...... Esp. when you learn more abt hw the ppl lived in the olden days..........


Wat shocked me most of all in Busan is that, though being the 2nd busiest and biggest city in KOrea its totally different from Seoul......... For the 1st nite, I was totally shocked in the area where I could hardly spot any teenagers on the street......... (its quite scary to me).... The beaches turned into dead city once the sun goes down.... No one chillin out at the nearby pubs etc (guess its bcos the summer vacations had ended??) I dunno its still a quite rural compared to Seoul.... I guess i am too much a CITY kid thats y!! bt its really an experience for me out of Seoul.... Nothing special there besides having a beach (as a singaporean its nothin special cos we see beach so often... bt to friends who hardly can see beaches in their country i believed they might find Busan interesting) Furthermore, we did not visit the well-known fish ports too... Dunno if we missed out anything interesting there bt fish ports dun interest me at all....... all I can tink of is the fishy smelllll................ >_<


Had a lot of fun besides the weird surroundings.... I actually went BACKpacking....... yah wif a big haversack.... oh bad it hurts... n its really funny... cos in the mornin i m all energetic bt by evening my battery ran flat......... haha i guess thats wat u mean by no stamina....
So here are some photos we took............
