This is a long looooonnnggggg time coming. So, I stayed for a few months in Korea last year and I have been mulling with this idea about writing some posts dedicated to traveling in Korea. I’ve posted my bouts of fangirlism throes, but I also wanted to share about the great places there, the shopping, the food, the more touristy side, if you will. Unfortunately, since I only stayed for a short while, there’s not much I can share in terms of actually living your life in Korea. So, I’ll have to stick with being a longer tourist, instead of the general resident.
Korea is a small country, but it’s lovely. There’s a reason why 1 Night 2 Days can go on for more than 4 years just going around the country, from picturesque spot to another, despite the fact that the country is really small. However, the upside of having such a small country is the fact that many of the places are easily accessible even by public transportation. If you’re bored, head over to the local intercity bus terminal, pick a place, and you’re there. There are intercity busses every single day, almost every hour. If you go to big cities, expect busses to go every half hour or so. Traveling within cities in Korea is so easy. The problem will arise when you get OFF the bus and have no heck of an idea how to go around in that city. Especially if you go to a small city, I’ll get to that.
Anyways, the idea isn’t for me to blab; I won’t be writing much, but I will mostly just post a gajillion pictures that will endanger my bandwidth. If you have any question, do let me know, hopefully I can help.
So, part one will be the awesome southern city of Busan! Busan is a MUST visit city if you go to Korea. Not only it’s got so many gorgeous places, it’s one of the cities in Korea that has good public transportation. Try going to Jeju relying on public transportation. It’s a nightmare. But in Busan, you can actually take a bus to go from point A to point B without wanting to scratch your eyes out. Plus, there are a lot of cabs around, so either way, you will be able to go anywhere you’d like.
Gajillion photos this way!
