Beautiful Busan

We are back from Busan and we definitely enjoyed our time there. We caught a ride with Derek's head teacher, Mrs. Kwon to Gwangmyeong Station and boarded the bullet train, KTX. Thanks to last minute notice at Derek's school, we recorded Derek's students grades to turn in for mid-term the next week on the 3 hour journey. There were many foreigners on the train and it was both interesting and bewildering to hear what they had to say. I guess we are starting to feel like scenery here and are a bit surprised when other foreigners that are "foreign" to us are around.

We made it into Busan just in time for the rain. We caught a taxi, Derek did his thing in Korean and we arrived at our really AMAZING and ENTERTAINING hotel for the weekend. Seriously, this hotel was immensely interactive and equipped to relax you as much as humanely possible! When we arrived the owner greeted us out of the front desk/his kitchen window to his family's apartment and told us that he would be up in 5 minutes to show us how to use the "remote." This remote ended up being the real "universal remote." The remote controlled the lights to the ceiling - THE UNIVERSE!








Yep! We had blue lights on the ceiling! And a BIG SCREEN TV! This is pretty entertaining for a couple who have a TV only as decoration! We managed to find "KUNG FU PANDA" to entertain us. The room got even better with a 3-head shower, a sauna and a BATH TUB! If you know Anlee, then you know a bath tub is a little piece of heaven and something to be taken full advantage of!

Wake up at 8:00am for a day of exploring and movies! More to come later!
