Korea: dressing up, Busan, bridges and tunnels, shipyards, Geoje

Korean girls dressed in traditional clothes

Thursday, 28 May 2015:
We left the cool arty Mini hotel in Gyeongju where we had spent 2 nites. When Peter asked the manager for help with a phonecall to the Avis office in Soeul, he mentioned he spoke better German than English. He liked to practice his German with us it seemed. 
We passed a new Hannok hotel at the outskirts of Gyengju and couldn't resist to have a look. I put some traditional Korean outfits on for fun and I wasn't the only one ^-^ 

always fun dressing up

After a while we arrived in Busan, the second largest city of Korea.
We started in the east where the beach is and the posh hotels, restaurants and bars are. All these impressive skyscrapers, wow.

On a terrace in the harbour we had a fish & chips (yeah 'patatjes') accompanied by two great beers; one of them was a Paulaner a German white, which was in contrast to the Hoegaerde white beer, rather expensive, but tasted great

The get to our next stop; the Radiance hotel in Geoje (an island near Busan), we passed a lot of bridges and tunnels. Interesting trip as we saw enormous shipyards. Korea is the worlds leading ship builder.

We had bought some drinks in Okpo which we wanted to consume on our balcony. Yeah, this evening we have a cool room WITH a balcony at the 6th floor with seaview. 
However, I (Carina) was so silly to close the balcony door at a certain moment. Arghhh we were stuck. Luckily Peter had his mobile phone and we could call the hotel. The receptionist understood English (phew) and came up to our room and saved us.
