My photos of Busan
Since the forums are so dull right now, I'd like to share some pictures of Busan, the second largest city in South Korea.

sneak preview








I decided to post in approximately 1024x768 dimensions.. because I assume most people now have larger than 15" monitors. If this is too big, then let me know.

Unlike most people who travel to Busan, I got in by ferry.
Do I recommend it? Yes! I don't really like plane travel and the ferry was a refreshing change. If you have some time to spare, by all means use the ferry.

It was mid July and still the rainy season in Korea and Japan.

Inside the ferry (Camellia lines) docked at Fukuoka, Japan.

That is the Kobee, a hydrofoil that can make the trip between Fukuoka and Busan in just 3 hours. Mine took almost 6.



Getting off the ship.
