Busan, South Korea


Went to Busan, which is South Korea's 2nd largest city with the guy who lives in the flat above mine.
We took a 2 hour bullet train.
Imagine if you could take a train from St. Louis to Chitown in 2 hours...sigh.
We stayed in a jimjilbang.
8 bucks a night.

You sleep on a heated floor with a bunch of other people in uniform pajamas.






Mosaic gasmask.












This is how Koreans socialize.

































Cherry Blossoms everywhere.






















Traditional Korean music is rad. Drums and gongs put together to sound like a very rhythmic train with a huge downbeat.






























Wim Wenders! See
Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire if you haven't already.














A Buddhist Temple. The all have free food, and Buddhist.


























































































































An advertisement that was "jammed" by a drunk guy with a cigarette.

The scariest thing I have ever seen.

So how big is that great wall, really? Is it feasible to walk from one end to the other? I feel like that may be a stupid question, but I don't know.

Is there a story behind the hanging naked man on the side of the building? I love it.

All of these pictures are so great, but I feel like I'm missing so much of the story without your nararation. The cigarette hi-5 is great. Have you quit yet?

The gaudy palace is beyond belief. Some of this architecture is great. Are people really camping beside that river? Is that cool?
