Been stone ages since I last updated anythin of real interest. So many things happened while I was missing. Hope that everything is settled and dusted down. Anyway 2 weeks ago, we celebrated the Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok. (had almost the whole week off) Basically on Chuseok, Koreans will take this opportunity to travel to their hometowns and pay their respect to their ancestors. Me? i took this wonderful chance to tag along to other states outside Seoul (Gyeongju and Busan).
In order to attract more readership, I will like to share my experiences in the Gyeongju + Busan trip, KUBA field trip, Ko-Yon games in a mini-series format! (actually i'm jus too lazy to do it in 1 shot but wth, its really troublesome uploading so many pictures and thinking of creative words to go along with :P)
The pictures are in a rather jumbled-up order (its jus another blatant demonstration of my laziness)
This series starts from the last day of our trip at Busan. (no special reason other than i alr loaded these pictures up)
Saw this picture from the consolidated pictures file.
Somethin jus doesnt seem right with this picture...:P
THis is US at the harbour of Busan. Busan, being a seaside town is renowned for its famous fish market. This harbour is used for fishing trawlers that comes in with the daily fresh supply of fish to the market.
More pictures at the fish market... Because we were there on Chuseok itself, the crowd wasnt tat impressive. BUt nonetheless, the size and variety in the market is frightening.
Random pic 1
Mid-day: We stopped by for our much appreciated Donut pit-stop at Krispy Kreme.
Random pic 2: The buildings here are really packed real close and tightly.
On the subway!!
This is at the foot of some hill on which we can actually see (almost) the whole of Busan.
Random pic 3: Back at the fish market :>
At the top of the hill that i mentioned earlier. I forgot the name alr. ps. HAHAhahah
On some random street downhill. Its somewhat like the Myeong-Dong of Seoul, which is somewhat like the Orchard Road of Sg.
Random pic 4: Back on the hill. There's a viewing tower that's not too diff from the N Seoul tower in Seoul. From there, I supp one can witness the magnificent sights of Busan.
Random Pic 5: Saw this poster on a stall in the fish market. This is supp to portray a list of animals that this stall sells as food. There's some bugs and stuff etc at the other end of the poster that i didnt manage to shoot. Believe me, its gross.
On the street thats like the Myeong-Dong of Seoul which is like the Orchard road of Sg. I can get really sick of this...:>
Sunset on the street which is like ... u know wat .
Back at the fish-market
We saw some really gross decapitation of live fish at the fish market. There were more skinning of eels and killing of fish that jus turns the stomach away from any seafood for that day.
End.
If this entry seems rushed and haphazard, its because its really rushed and haphazardly done in between my studying breaks. Wat!?!? Study!?!?! Yes i do study here for the information of those misguided ones.:> My mid-term is approaching and there's a lot of mugging to do. However I do believe it is peanuts compared to my good pals back in BS who are fighting a war over there. Kudos to them, and gd luck!
