Another shot of the Daejeongdae beach. A splendidly spectacular view of the beach. A deliberately slanted view of the beach to give it an unusual perspective...and THAT...if it even worked...^^
On our way down the hill toward the parking lot after visiting Daejeongdae. Though it may not be that clear....far beyond ...the seaport city of Busan was visible. I just wanted to say that this so-called Daejeongdae was practically situated on a slope of the hills...
..that's why visitors were going up and down the hills should they want to enjoy the view.
But what I mostly remembered was how blue the sky on that day.
With Ms. Kim M.S. who was kind enough to take us around Busan and its vicinity.
What would a Busan Trip without having to go to Jagalchi market where most of the fish and seafood are freshly or dried sold. ^^
In that sense in mind, we went to a market selling all kinds of fish products. Well, we just bought ojingo or dried squids and anchovies.(?).
Right before leaving Busan, we had lunch at China Town. It looked so empty, right? I did not know why. It surely says that this place was and is...the place for foreigners..but I did not see many of them. Oh, well..maybe it was not the right time to visit? Anyhow, I managed to capture a pic. of my wife in front of one of the many gates gearing towards China Town. Oh, for anyone who might be wondering as to where it was, it is located just in front of the Busan Station.
Now..we are on board KTX train. The fastest train on the peninsula or in the world? Its speed boasts as fast as 300 km/hour. What? Yes, the electronic signboard inside the train indeed showed that fact. But, as soon as it reached 300 km/hour it slowed a bit into 299, 298,297..or I could say that this train runs at the average of 290 km/hour.
That's the reason as to why it takes only 2.5 hours from Busan to Seoul. (remember my story of taking Mugunghwa train that took us almost 6 hours from Seoul to Busan?)
So, this train indeed speeds up the activities and goods & people's exchanges inside the Peninsula.
As for us, it saved us ...some energy and valuable time, though frankly speaking.....it did not help us whatsoever in saving some money. ^^hahahahahaha.
Finally got back safely in Seoul.
Lots of families with their children were on the same compartment as we were. Guess, weekend trip in intercity train like this speed KTX train ...to some extent.....does help boost the tourism industry in Korea.
Bye---Bye...KTX train. Till we meet again..on our trip to other cities soon.^^
