    Amongst the Kimchi eaters

    im just back from a trip to korea and japan, had a great little holiday heres some pics, we flew into seoul then went down the coast to Busan then a hydrofoil over to japan

    Incheon airports about an hour from downtown so the first thing to do was find the subway and grab some tickets, i was travelling with the wife and our oldest boy so we were using the subway a fair bit


    a ticket to seoul station costs about 13000 won or roughly $13



    once we figured out how to use the ticket vending machine we were in business
    The subway sytem in korea is quite amazing

    we were staying in the myeongdong area which is known for shopping

    pissing rain the day we arrived so didnt see much the first day

    I think this palace(The first of many ) was called changdeokgung, i was a bit sick of temples and pagodas by the end of the trip but her indoors likes all that stuff,

    Take away the temples and the pagodas and you could almost be on the Manchester Ship Canal.

    Great pic thread as usual BLD.

    Didnt see a lot of seoul but really enjoyed the place, next morning we were back on the subway to seoul station to grab the 300 kmh bullet train to the port city of Busan, which turned out to be a top little place as well

    Did they actually play them or were they just for looking at?

    Not really my cup of tea temples , had to be done though



    this one was nice enough though



    Busan has an excellent hop on hop of bus that costs you about $10 we could never manage to get a seat though as most days the lines of korean tourists were just to much, a taxi to most places around town was quite cheap so we used taxis a bit in busan
    back at the beach there was a sand sculpting event going on
    my boy had a lot of fun playing on this giant sand pile



    Looks like a lot of work went into them
