Back to Busan

We're back in Busan, Korea today.  This is the first stop for everyone who boarded in Beijing.  There are only about 300 - 500 of us who were here on the previous tour.  We are going into town on a shuttle and poke around on our own.  Today it is clear and everything looks pretty.  The town is pretty but there was a lot of smog last week.  Although it didn't compare to Qingdao which was so gross with pollution.  The singers and dancers greeted us and put on a beautiful welcome.  It is interesting to see how differently we are received in the different countries. 

Yesterday was beautiful.  We sat out by the pool and Brian relaxed on our deck.  It was the first day that it was warm enough to be outside for that long.  I forgot to mention that Brian had a massage while I toured Dahlian so he had a nice day taking advantage of what the ship has to offer. 

On our drive to the Great Wall I noticed some traffic signs on the expressway that were in Chinese and English.  Some were:  Do not drive tiredly;  Car end collision.  Keep space; and Change lanes. Look behind.  I think there are many new drivers and many new roads so they need all the help they can get.  We also saw people pull off toward the side of the roads rather haphazardly.  We couldn't figure out what they were doing but it appeared they were visiting and having snacks.  Can you imagine doing that on the 210?

  1. Hi Betty,
    I went to the gym on Monday and going to Zumba on Thursday. Keep up the treadmill, good for you. You're not missing anything here in La Verne, just rain. I think that Hawaii cruise is Sept 28. I'd better go on a diet. Ha Ha Ha!
