First trip into Busan

Hello everyone! Hope you all are fine, we are good. So Grant and I went on our first trip into Busan on Saturday, we first caught the bus across the street from our apartment and rode it into the subway station.

This is the Sinpyeong Station, which has many different stops on it and matches up to 3 different subway lines. Man it was confusing at first for this country gal, but I got how to ride these things now!

          

                                                                                                                                             Across from the subway station we see what looked like a Lego store. We had to take a picture, everyone loves Lego!

        

They were unloading a truck that was full of theLego containers

So we went into the station and caught the subway down to Napon Station, when we got off and came up to ground leave what a different site. The roads were down in a cobble stone, it was really insteresting.

We followed this road and ended up going to a enterance of this park. It is the one with what looks kind of like a tent over a walkway.

 

We had to ride a escalator going up to the top, it was very steep, because you have to remember very thing is built on a side of a mountain!

 This is part way up, the Korean people stop a bow to this Budda. After getting all the up to the top we stopped at the washrooms, this is the toilets we had to use, same ones in both male and female washrooms! Well girls no worries if the toilet seat was peed on! 

This picture is a tower in the middle of the park and you can go to the top of it and see amazing sites. The pictures below are some of the sites you can see.

There is so many housing buildings, but when you have a country with people you need lots of apartments. 

This statue was by the one building when we came out

A temple with a huge bell in it

I tried to get Grant to go ring the bell but he would not do it!

When we were on our way home the bus driver was very scarey to be in the bus with, he was talking on his phone, eating a orange, having coffee and driving the bus in flip flops, as well as we ran two red lights and did 115 Kim's in a 30 km zone! We were surprized we made it home!

P.O.W. Camp

Well how have you all been? We have been good, not really doing to much, but we have been busy. We went and applied for our Alien of registration cards. Yes we are now confirmed we are ALIENS, lol. Last Sunday we went to the persioner of war camp for the Korean War. It was very interesting, and I learnt lots there on what happened, and it is hard to believe that South Korea was just about totally flattened and when you see it today with all the buildings you would never think of it that way. This war started in 1950 so really it was not that long ago. I do have lots of pictures so here we go!

This is Fernado, he works with Grant here, the funny part Ferndo also work with Grant at Conklin and they did not know they were both coming here. Ferndo has a vehicle here already, but he has been here longer than us, and he lives in the same set of apartment buildings as us, so we paid for supper and Fernado paid for the gas, good deal I think.😄

This what they had to use as the bathroom, then the p.o.w.'s had to carry out the remains. As seen in the next picture.

This is some of the actual reminds of some of the buildings

Another thing we learnt was the p.o.w. Had better meals and accommodation then the ones in the field out fighting. I feel that is so sad in one way that the South Korenans treated their prisoners better than what they could provided to their soliders.
