My french friend Mathieu had to go to another country till 2nd in Jan for visa. And he will come in Japan again next 3months. I decided to go to Korea with him. I needed to go to somewhere because I didn't make travel for long time. Fortunately Busan is nearer and cheaper country from Japan. I wan…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip:   Back in Busan, my only objective was to travel across the City by Metro and then catch the ferry from the port, which would take my to the Island of Jeju-do. I arrived in plenty of time and thus was one of the first people to boar…

So 3weeks in I feel right at home (lol). Things, places and people are all growing on me and I can at times recognize something familiar and be like hey I know where «i am, I know what that is...sometimes...! This past week has been a bit insane. Lots going on, but then again there always seems li…

Yesterday in class, I brought my laptop in and showed my 8 year old students a photo of my dog Penny.  They all crowded around and many ooohed.  One girl said, "dog is very cute." Another girl said, "is it puppy?" Another boy looked up and said, "i want to eat your dog." 

You're in for a long one boys and girls -- better grab a snack and settle in.Yesterday was my first and only full day in Busan.  Heeding the advice of my guesthouse owner, I skipped Beomeosa Temple, which is hailed by everything I've read as THE sight in Busan (but of course is also out of the…

Do you know? I LOVE Busan ! This time, I takes with my sister & my friend. they both go to Busan for the first time. I've been visit Busan 25 times in this travel. I don't know why I love Busan so much. I just feel comfortable in there. Recently I don't go to sightseeing.  But I had …

Busan is the second city in Korea. There are lots of beaches and have a fantastic night view. I am usually taking pictures about Busan.

Some more pictures of South Korea. 28 July - 06 September 2007

"Korea is near and far country from japan" It was said for long time. But in 2003 the one of Korean drama "Winter Sonata" became so popular in Japan. From around that time both country became so closer and friendly. After that year I went very often to Seoul,Jeju island,Busan. Sometimes I took few photos in a trip. So I tidy up those photos in here together.

I always get edgy coming back to Korea on a tourist visa.. I've never worked illegally here, and I probably never will, but so many people do it - especially English teachers - that i'm just scared.. I live in Korea because of one thing; love. And I'm worried that immigration will ta…

it was early around 7am when I took a walk outside to the beach, and there were people in wetsuits getting ready for their swim in the water! I walked along the sand for a while, saw the bamboo forest with the heavenly horses statues in the daylight, and the sand sculptures again, before turning ba…

After my exchange semester in Japan was over I started traveling westwards. Then from Fukuoka on the Kyushu island I took the ferry to Busan. Despite my expactations Korea seemed to me completely different to Japan.During the following 3 weeks I found out that Korea is a fascinating country with some beautifull places to visit, very spicy but great food and full of surprises for foreigners. If you ever get the chance, go there and see the Koraens through your own eyes.

We got the Beetle ferry from Fukuoka to Busan.  We felt very sad about leaving Japan but at the same time excited about arriving in a new country. The hostel we stayed at is called Blue Backpackers and is situated on the 13th and 18th floors in an apartment which had good views of the ar…
