Sept 2007 Day 1 tour: Busan trip from Seoul Station to Busan on the fast train. Beaches, Buddhist temple, harbour tour, etc

Our train was delayed by over 5 hours, oh joy! Actually, I don’t mind too much since secretly I’ve been desperate for things to slow down.

The trains are ancient but service doesn’t resemble the trains colonial heritage and former glory. I’ve witnessed a few colonial customs. I only hope that they are only remain to stay on this train.

At breakfast the only open seats were at a table where a man was almost finishing his breakfast. Shortly after the man left our table a couple came and sat down a the table which had now opened. The waiter laid out new plates and cutlery then as he passed our table picked up the dirty teaspoon from the previous man and placed it at the couple’s table. This made me quickly inspect the remaining cutlery at our table and wonder how many other things had been recycled? …hmm, yummy!
