Cable Car

Yesterday was very productive and good to get out and about.

We took a trip to Kumgang Park which is the north west of the city. It is a large park, with a mountain in the middle. And you can climb the mountain by path or take a cable car to the top. Today was the cable car. But the path looks really good so will need to return with hiking boots. And it would be even better to ride down! Haha.

So after grabbing some lunch in the gigantic Lotte department store we made our way to the park. After trawling through side streets for a while we came upon and old gate house, and further up the hill was the park. A quick look at the park map and we decided on what we wanted to see. Straight to the cable car, and out came the camera. A relatively quick trip to the top but some killer views over Busan. On a clearer day this would be even better. At the top there are some paths to walk around on, and some temples to see and old gate houses. It was just nice to be out in the sunshine and walking amongst the trees. The Koreans sure love to eat and drink though. Even at the top of this mountain there are small huts which cook food and sell drinks, with loads of old Koreans laughing and talking.

Decided to head out again last night, make the most of the time off. This time was the Kyungsung University area in the east of the city. Slightly easier to get to this time. had found out about a couple of bars right next to each other. Ol 55 and Vinyl Underground. And both of them were dead. Totally dead. I guess everyone was away for the long weekend. Both bars were quite cool though, small, dark and grungy. Ol 55 was the best, playing Metallica and Rancid all evening whilst we played pool. And free pool! Awesome.

No shenanigans with breaking and entering this time. Just off to bed.

As for today. A total bust! Went for a quick walk about and then just lounged watching X-Men movies all day and eating junk food. Back to work tomorrow.
