ON monday i get on the fast train running from seoul to BUsan, in two hours we crossed South KOrea from north to south. I ve done that trip with VIrginie, a french girl living in malaysia. Busan is the second biggest city in korea and the fourth biggest harbour in the world. Once in BUsan, we went to the fish market, we saw so many kind of disgusting fishes. We had lunch late, a seafood barbecue.  After thaT we climb up a small hill, the cable car was already closed, we was too late.  Afterward we went to take picture in the most famous beach of korea (HUndaie).

ON tuesday i took a train to reach Giang JU, small city, but really important for koreans, it s the old capital. I stayed in a dingy hostel there. I met an american writer, he s writting a book about korean culture, he gave me one of his book, his website is www.madisonmorrison.com

THe second day in Giang JU i went with a guy from switzerland hiking in the mountains and visiting temples in te countryside. I would like to write down the name of that attractions and that places but i ve already forgotten. 

I came back one day and one night to seoul to say byebye. This time i stayed in Itaewon, there s an american army base

 On friday 28th, i take the boat to tiajin, 26 hours...i just bought some food before boarding. In the ship , an american couple is running out of money, i changed with them USD, it helped them to survive, they could buy some noodles soup. In the boat I learnt russian language. We got Tiajin at 8 pm , it was overwhejling to sse this huge harbour, many cranes thoussands of containers....the clothes and the toys are pack to be shipped to the western country. 

After 16 hours reading, sleeping and drinking green tea in the huge ship, I got at last Incheon (The terminal international Harbour). I m staying in a friendly place called staykorea close to Hongik University, plenty of french because sun the owner stayed 15 years in Paris, as you could know fench don t like to speak english so they stay there. I m hanging out and having a relaxing time here in Korea. It s forbidden to bip here, no bycicles, a clean and a efficient subway, a cosy guesthouse, i don t need to take care of my belongings,....well after china and vietnam its coming in a good time. Koreans are helpfull and kind people,..It s one of the safest country in the world, so natyrally I feel safe.

Its pretty easy to live in korea, in every subway station , you can find clean bathroom . You can find a place to clean up your glasses for free. You can recharge your batteyr s mobile phone for free everywhere.

Actually I tasted the differents korean experiences...the differents bangs (means room) as the jimjilbang..that s a sauna. KJoreans as russians use to go to the sauna, sometimes they even sleep inside (the cheepest accomodation in Seoul).  They go there in familly with friends. ARound the sauna , you can enjoy the differents facilities (hair dresser, bar, fitness room, massage,...) 

Korean Food is definetly delicious, first the kimchi this kind of fermented cabbage is served with every meal (it s the secret of the healthy korean life), second you can taste to the bibimpap or kimpap. But the best, the must is the korean barbecue..First you take off your shoes, second you put on a apron, fourth you sit on the floor and fifth after cutting your meat with scissors you cook it on the hotplate  situated in the middle of the table. .you add some vegetables and spice of course...with that you can drink typicals korean drinks like Tenamu Tong JIu, SO Jui, Makoli, Shitke.  

IN seoul, I ve been to INsadong, to see the different palaces (Changdeokgung, changgyeonggung). I also climb up Dobongsan mountain in the Bukhansan national park. We saw so many old people over-equiped with "the north face equipement'' climbing that mountain too. That s the main hobby for retired persons.

As you could notice, i m loving south korea: the life style, their own culture, the people.
