Korea Update 10th October

In Daegu having travelled by train yesterday. We were met by my wife's ex worker's parents and taken to lunch and Dinner. Lunch at a chineses retaurant and Dinner at a Korean BBQ house where food is cooked at the table over hot coals. Also were taken to Haensi Temple some two hours by car away , and saw the historic wood carved KoreanTripitaka which took some 17 years to carve, and after it was all destroyed took another 16 years to carve the current version, of over 1000 wood blocks.We travel by bus today to the south eats port city of Pusan (Busan).

We arrived in Pusan at the Bus terminal and took a taxi to the inner city, some 1 hour away, booked into a hotel and had lunch there, then went on a city tour by bus, get on and off as you like, all day.

Ended up at the huge fish market, and were going to have dinner at an eatery there, but decided instead to eat at one of the back lane eatery places near the hotel.

We return to Seoul tomorrow, Wed 11th, since I have an appoinyment with the doctor on Thursday morning, after which we visit another market, supposed to carry all kind of sporting gear.

Until Next Time
