Travel Note – Busan Day 1 – Daegu to Busan by Train

Sunday, 11 August 2013

We travelled to Busan by executive train. It was comfortable, clean and has a lot of legs room.

These are the photos of the train’s interior:

From Busan train station we took a taxi to go to our hotel at Haeundae Sunset Business Hotel. From the outside, the hotel looks a bit dodgy but the room was very nice. It’s located really near from the Haeundae beach and we can even see the beach from our room.

We planned to go to the beach tomorrow so we went there to check how the system works.

Basically there were different operators that rent out beach umbrella, floaty and mat. When we walked around, the pricing were pretty much the same so we’ve decided to go with the one nearest to the hotel.

When we were there, there were Nivea counter where you can get sunscreen for free and sexy ladies in tight clothes can put it on you.

We spent the rest of the day to relax and eat a lot of food.

One of my favorite Korean drinks is Binsu. It’s ice with different kind of toppings but always have red beans in them. A must to try in Korean summer.

Back in the hotel, we watched the first round of debate between the Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd and the leader of the opposition, Tony Abbott.

After watching the first round of debate I was still in decisive.
