Busan

Today we took the bullet train from Seoul to Busan.

It was pretty impressive. It's only a "bullet" train until Daejeon but we were really moving during that part. I enjoyed seeing the countryside. There were some views of how I thought Korea should look. Very rural, a lot of farming.

Busan is on the coast. Where we are staying is a resort area in the middle of a busy port. Busan is the 5th largest port in the world. While it's the second largest city in South Korea, it is very different from Seoul. A lot less traffic and a lot more green space. Busan has some very pretty gardens. I even saw a community garden being tended by the residents on my walk this evening. And, of course, there is the beach!

Tomorrow we are going to tour the harbor, perhaps on a boat, and then meet with a container company. Friday we will tour Hyundai Heavy Industries and see where they make the massive ship motors.
