Asia 2016 Too Cold We finally spotted our first Caucasian in Busan. In the train station, basically as we were leaving. We're going to however regard them as the exception that proves the rule, Busan is for
Asia 2016 Busan (부산) After yesterday’s beautiful night views in the non-freezing night, we discovered that the temperature does not appear to have gone up during the day again. Which was not a good sign for
Asia 2016 Properly Lost Getting to Busan was the easy part. We knew the Metro well enough that getting to the main station was a piece of cake. From there we only needed to try 3 ATM's
