Korea--Day 7 (Friday, June 29)

We went to an art center for a drum lesson this morning.
 
We were divided into three groups. Mike and I were on Team Jeju.  Sarah was on Team Seoul, and Noah was on Team Busan.
We had lunch at a buffet restaurant at Seoul Station and then took the KTX bullet train to Busan.  It went almost 200 miles per hour, and we made it all the way across the country in less than three hours. 
I tried something called "acorn jelly" at lunch.  It was not good.
on the train
So many rice fields in the middle of the country.
We got off the train and walked to a bus for an hour ride to our hotel in Busan.  This bridge is amazing.
Lots of shipping containers. I saw some bound for Costco. Busan is a major shipping harbor.  Its population is 5 million, much less than Seoul's, but Busan has more land area.
 Our hotel (the Novotel). We are on the street side, but we can see a little corner of the beach.
 Sarah is going to the pool with her required swimcap.
 Mike and I found the beach through the fog.
 Found the Cocky Pub while prowling the streets of Busan.
 This wide area is in the middle of two streets.
 Here's a very common occurrence.  Mike doling out money to Sarah on the street.
 Now she's happy.
 Fireworks in the fog on the beach.
The tunnel of hearts lights up at night.
