SOUTH KOREA TRIP (2016): Train To BUSAN

Yes, I'm using that movie title: Train to Busan (but no, I don't watch it since I dislike thriller genre, but oh yes I was almost tempted to watch it because of Gong Yoo) since this post is really about my day trip to Busan except I met no zombie along the way. So back then when I was planning on this trip, I thought about buying Korail Pass and I did buy the 1-day pass for KRW 81,000. I still haven't decided which city should I visit when I bought it. I always want to visit Busan since it is the second largest city in South Korea, but yet it is so far away from Seoul, the round trip itself took about 5 hours by KTX - the fastest train in South Korea, meanwhile I only bought the 1-day pass which mean I could not spend the night there. On the other side, the 1-day trip pass would be most advantageous if I use it to Busan since it normally costs around KRW 120,000 for a round trip. So there I was, one cold Saturday morning, heading to Seoul Station to get on my train to Busan.

안녕하세요!

Annyeonghaseyo! I just came back from South Korea a few days ago and it was still freezing there, -2°C when the plane landed. Usually I plan a trip and and buy the flight ticket months before and actually I have this thought of coming back to South Korea since my first visit, but I never knew when to realize it. This time, I was a bit spontaneous. I decided to fly alone and I just bought the ticket for this trip around 3 weeks before my departure, I applied for the visa 2 weeks before, and planned everything in between the those two weeks span. I'll write a few posts regarding this trip, but meanwhile I'm contemplating on what and how to write, just enjoy a few pictures. You could also take a look on my instagram account @niyaoke for some photos I posted while I was on the trip.
