Well another groovy weekend! Tania, Andrew and I trekked down to the very south of South Korea to a city called Busan. We caught a bullet train so it only took a little over two hours to get there! (Andrew tried to convince us that it is called the bullet train because it travels as fast as a speeding bullet......quite unsuccessfully I promise! However it travels at around 300 km/hr - pretty quick!)
Anyhow as usual not too much chit chat more pics with little explanations.....enjoy!
Busan Rail station - just a pretty damn cool building really!
Hyandae Beach by night.... we stayed at a motel / brothel about a block from the beach....... Brothel I hear you gasp! Well actually they are called Love Hotels - you can rent them by the hour...so so seedy I know. Looked innocent enough until she led us past the porn shelf to the "three" person room which consisted of one giant bed.... Not just any bed though. A round bed! So so tacky... see for yourself! If that wasn't enough of a giveaway the red light outside the motel we discovered at nighttime really sealed the deal. Oh well good thing it was cheap!
Whilst in Hyandae beach Tania and I also enjoyed a 2hr Thai massage... sooooo good but quite painful - the girls had us bent up like pretzls!
We also visited a temple a little north called Beomeosa Temple. It was very beautiful - spring is such an awesome time of year over here! Everything is so green and pretty!
This is Andrew's cool shot! 10 points!
- The three stooges..... My thelma and louise style of photography leaves a lot to be desired! missed most of me! doh!
A lady worshipping in the temple. I'm sure I probably shouldn't be taking such photos as it probably is offfensive...Oh well! I'm glad my God isn't in the form of a gold statue and I'm not required to light a million billion tea light candles!
More temple worship....
We also vistited Mt Geumjeong fortress..... We expected a wall or something... but there was none? We did however stumble across the most hair-raising, scary bus trip I've ever experienced! Picture a narrow, winding mountain road, tight curves, blind corners, pedestrians scattered along the edges walking..... now picture being on a very fast bus, which screeches it's tyres from speed on most corners, picture the game of corners from hell in the back seat of this bus....picture near collisions, a bus driver that honks at cars in front of him that are going probably faster than the speed limit anyhow.... I pictured near death! Scary....but still stangely fun! hehehehe Almost topped the cab driver the previous day doing 130km/hr in a 60 zone, narrowly missing a stationary truck.......
Colourful speciman! Guarding the temple.......
Tan and I in the temple forest.
I know, I know.... I have a fixation with photographing lanterns.. Actually I am on the quest for the perfect lantern shot!
