Busan(Pusan) is the biggest port city of Korea. I traveled the Busan City Tour course with my friend on last Sunday, 13. You can see the all pictures in my photo album.

I woke up at 5:00 AM. and took very slow train line. So the left pic was taken as soon as we arrived. I think it was a simple travel so there are not so many preparations. However, it was not. My friend was fairly cautious so he checked many things including famous restaurants.

This is the tour bus. It goes around the fixed path which passes through famous places in Busan. You can stay some place as you want, and take the next bus. Bus arrives on every 40 min. Plane bus and double-decker alternately goes around. I had looked forward to taking double-decker but there was no chance.

This picture is taken in the bus. There are touch-panels on every seat. It explains where we are, why that place is famous and so on. I think it was a good service.

The first place we visited was Busan Museum. The right picture is the entrance of Busan Museum. There were so many ancient things and I'm interested in these. So we stayed there for so long time, that we have to change plans.

This is a buddhist statue which was national treasure No 200. One old man came to us and said the behind story about how and why this statue was here. The story was fairly funny, but I don't write here, because the story contained detailed background knowledge and history of Korea. Moreover, My english is not so good. Therefore, I think you hardly understand that story. I took many pictures of relics but most of them are out of focus.

At the lunch time, my friend wanted to go a famous restaurant. He checked the location. Other restaurants are empty but this one was crowded.

This is Guk-Bab which is a very popular food of Korean. The white one on centered dish is boiled pork. It was really good taste.

This is the front of UN memorial garden. The garden was made for spirits during the Korean War. I thank fallen soldiers. The message in the picture means "Be quiet" in Korean language.

Someone's tomb. There was really quiet.

There are many flags in memory of supported countries during the Korean war.

This is a coastal way to Nurimaru APEC house. It has very beautiful scenery so there are many visitors.

I ate something for dinner in the evening. However, I don't know what I ate. It's name was Wandang, which is invented by the owner of restaurant. The taste was so-so. It was featureless.

Anyway, It was fairly nice trip.

Sorry, my friends. I was a little bit busy for a while, so I can't watch my blog and yours.

I walked along a line of Mt. JuWang which is famous for good sceneries in Korea, today. If you want to see some pictures of this mountain. see my photo album http://my.opera.com/zariski/albums/show.dml?id=397300

If you want to know where it is and you have google earth, download the google kmz file JuWang.kmz

Have a good time.
