Pusan

April 6th
Pusan, South Korea

Today was nice, not as exciting as yesterday, but still very enjoyable. After sleeping for 12 hours (which I didn’t want to do, it just happened), I got off the ship around 1:00 and figured I’d walk around the city till all aboard at 4:15. Pusan was nice because like many European ports I visited, was built on a hill, meaning I feel more comfortable walking large distances away from the ship because I cane always get back to the water by walking down the hill. So I did just that, walked for a full 3 hours, all around the mountain the city was built on and as high as I could, and through as many areas as possible. I saw some really great, authentic areas of the city where few tourists every wander into, and picked up some good pics and great exercise. There wasn’t anything especially eventful about the walk, just a great time setting my own course as I went along while hoping to be able to figure out a course back to the ship as I went along. Toward the end, after I’d established exactly where I was again, I found a place to eat, pointed to a picture of something, and ordered a really nice omelet thing filled with rice and topped with a great sauce, all for $3.50, which was fine by me. I also picked up a 2 liter bottle of water some time before for less than a dollar, bringing my total for the day to about $4.50, a great deal for the three hours in Korea! Anyways, I made it back to the ship with about 15 minutes to spare, and got back aboard to enjoy yet another day off. This is a job? Yeah, best one ever! Anyways, I did some more reading and hit the gym, and that was about it for the day. Thanks!
