SSAB - May 8, 2024

Down to Busan we go! How was the train? Nice, 2.5 hours from Seoul Station to Busan Station. FRIED CHICKEN on the way down!! Delicious! Namsan Tower for the morning, crawled up the walkway, then took the cable car back down. A rather noisy place as there were several kindergartens out on a field trip. Add to that the blaring music and it was a touch on the lively side.  Hey, how was your hotel? Small and expensive ($100 per night) and the green fire escape light was on all night, like… it illuminated the whole place. Small and cramped I’d say, about 500 RMB per night, or $100 CAD. It was quiet when the window was shut but in the morning, around 6.30 or so, there would be some alarm that went off that sounded like birds, only that it wasn’t birds. 6.00 am the church bells went off. Myeongdong Cathedral, first church in South Korea, also hosts a crypt within which are preserved the remains of several beatified martyrs. Something happened in 1835 or so that these people were killed. My bet is that you could backpack South Korea in three weeks, as in, see everything that would keep you interested.  How do the podcasts sounds? I forgot to add the “mastering” plugin on Monday’s episode. And then off to dinner with the pengyous from long ago! How are they doing?
