Journal – Spring Break: South Korea 3/29/2014

I am currently at Holly’s Coffee, one of the very few things open this early.  I ordered a Mint Cafe Latte (₩5,500) despite being pretty tasty it is still relatively expensive for me so I tried to make it last as long as I could.

So I missed my first train out of Seoul to Busan.  I didn’t realize my phone didn’t automatically update my clock, so I was running on Taipei time (one hour behind).  Luckily I was able to refund my ticket for a small fee and buy another one.

For the last thirty minutes of the train ride I conversed with a guy named Seunghyun who studies Translation as a graduate student at a university in South Korea.  He was really nice and gave me a few tips on things to do in Busan.  Currently, I am watching TV on my large plasma TV!  Prior to this I walked around maybe 5-7 miles around Busan because I wanted to explore a little on my first night here.  I saw so many bars and food places, but sadly many of the food places were closed since it was around 21:00.  I found a 24 hour grocery store and bought some bananas, chips, and ramen for dinner.  Sadly the ramen I bought wasn’t very good.  The sad life of traveling right? Haha.
