Nurimaru APEC house. The first itinerary of our 2nd day trip to Busan was to visit the historical site of the 2005's APEC Meeting. On our way to the site, we were walking up the hill. Through the trees surrounding the areas, I could see the Marine City's springing high-rises.
The seaside near Marine City was calm in the morning. I could feel the breeze of morning air while walking towards the APEC historical site. Loved the trees in summer that time.
The first impression of Nurimaru APEC house that I saw. It was right near a beautiful beach, especially combined with the futuristic-looking house that the APEC house had.
Ok, I shouldn't have used my not-that-smart-phone's camera^^. It did not do any justice to the perfect setting that very morning.^^. Haha...Anyway, I could point out that I WAS right there at Nurimaru--to say the least.
Upon entering the main hall where the meeting was held, we were greeted by a painting that seemed to be created by incorporating thousands of glass-pieces. It was impressive to see the cranes, deer, and other symbolical creatures ...on the painting.
Wish I'd known more about behind the story...
Down we went further towards the exhibits where the flags of APEC members were being displayed. Right above it, there was an on-going broadcast or display of the 2005's APEC meeting. I took a pictuere when Ms. Rice was on it.
That day must've been so eventful for the delegates and the participating members. I mean, who would not want to enjoy the beautiful setting of the venue. Busan's seaport as well as its famous Gwangan bridge were the backdrops that Busan surely is proud to have.
Off we went deeper, we found other arrays of displays of items, stuffs, pictures related to the event. One thing that caught my attention was a d glassed-display of the buffet menu served during the event. All of the best that Korea's surajang (King's meals) offered was indeed a nice break
The main room was the very place where the presidents of each APEC member country met
....and had a courtesy manner towards each other. We were tentatively listening to the guide. Thanks to her, at least we'd learned something out of it.
