Seoul n Busan Days Oct 2008

Still @ Seoul

Took the express train to Busan this trip.. it went as fast as the cars in F1! N Busan is beautiful! Perhaps also coz i had good company this time since student's from Busan and knew the way around..

the very picturesque scenary along the way.. taken while the train was running at top speed!


i SO regret i didnt get this specs.

the SEASIDE hotel i checked into was GREAT with a FANTASTIC view! it actually made me guilty as i started hallucinating i am on holiday instead....

I can see the Gwang An beach and the Gwang An Bridge from my room can!

a pity these doors won't budge. if not i can appreciate the scenary while taking my bubble bath. :P

used the pink pack of bath salts that very night!

very hi-tech room.. with electronic control.. call me a suaku but this is the first time i've seen this! :P
having fun woohoo!

the light switch is cool la!

tap, lights on. tap, lights out!
4-pillowed bed somemore! yay! I so know i can so sleep so very well tonight.

The lighted bridge at night was amazing. esp viewed from my room.

a walk along the beach..
there were these buskers and am i lucky or what. It was the Pusan International Film Festival and they had fireworks display that night! cool breeze great weather buskers on the beach beautiful fireworks - what a fantastic combination.

my hotel!

PURPOSELY bought my fav bulgogi burger from lotteria and PURPOSELY went back hotel to sit and eat beside my window. cheap thrill but how many such chances do i get! ha.

can u not be mesmerised when u wake up to this view? i so wanna skip my fair!

was lucky to catch this naval display as there happened to be a maritime defence fair going on at the same time..

student's mum brought us to this wonderful resto for buffet dinner..

cant stomach this ginseng-like tuber well but the flower bun in the background was my fav tho!

one of the beautiful desserts which i didnt touch.

i was at P.I.F.F! ;)

After Busan was Russia immediately. I officially declared Incheon as my favourite. Yes Changi is displaced. Shall explain this in my next post on Russia but so the story went that i had to spend the night in Incheon airport and i discovered this wonder jimjilbang right at the airport!

i can bathe. i can blow my hair. i can do my usual skincare routine. even water is provided!

was able to get this private lounge to sleep too! very small but enough for a night's rest. at least i had a comfy bed!
