We walked around all day in Seoul and in the end we found a hotel that had rooms available. The day after we went up to Seoul Tower, and wow, what a view, just a shame it was so foggy.

Can we not get a response within two days so we'll take our bicycles and ride to a ferry to Japan because we are only allowed to run with our bikes here until the 26th Much fuss with those bikes ....
Fear not the journey but just the hassle of duties and limits that is where the problems are. But we solve this too I guess.

Thanks to all readers of the blog, today we have passed the 20 000 log-ins on our blog. This in little more than a month ... ....

Beautiful beach in the middle of town

We are told that in Busan, a city in South Korea, which is very beautiful, among a lot of mountains and valleys. It is easy to transport themselves in Busan as it goes underground almost everywhere. It is easy to

vattenfall
waterfall at the beach

transported to the beaches, the city's markets and other shopping-friendly areas. It is a very quiet town despite its size and you can see youngsters not bustle no graffiti or somewhere. Vehicles move at a steady trot battle but you rarely hear chiming or see someone push themselves. A big contrast to Russia where everyone chimed and crowded.

We have put out some new 3-d bubbles during the "follow us on the map" so take a look there and see how it looks on a few different places in Busan, among other things, china market, or the prospect of Yougdo. You can also go directly to the proposed site via this link. http://serv2.incomotion.se/world/player.php?project=39

You get "mad mothers o mad at the right time," wherever you go. Here in Busan, there are probably 500,000 restaurants for just our little street, there is certainly one hundred century. Almost every small hole in the wall is a restaurant and sits oddly enough the people o the chaps at every little brawn. I believe that everyone go out o eat instead of cooking yourself.

tonight we were at a famous restaurant here kvartert known for its "pig soup". There was a hotel owner who recommended this and he even followed us there and ordered us to ensure we got right. It was really good, we got a soup with vegetables and this served the cooked pork could dip in soy sauce mixed with mustard. vick, we have a lot of side dishes and we are well in all honesty say that we do not really know what all was, but it was good. It is fair to say that the food is not at home. ... But I guess that is the charm. A little surprises every now and then will not hurt.

some new 3D images

Now we have a little new bluppar on the map. Here the right edge is a compound called "follow us on the map" and where one can go in and click on the blue blupparna so will the 3-D bubba we posed. Now, here are some new part of Korea to visit o watch them they are fun, we think. Occasionally there are more pieces in the same project number so check the image in the lower left edge, so you can see if you can get more pictures.

Have fun ... ..

Busan

We have been with a carrier to see how and where we can carry our bikes on. There seems to be done in a flash so we are well stuck here in a few days anyway.

Today we took a tour bus and we were among others at the UN Cemetery in Busan this. There were 11 different nations that were here and helped with the war in the 50's. Eg Sweden who were here and built up field hospitals. We saw pictures of these field hospitals in the exhibition hall.

When we were there so there were Ochs some 50 Turkish old uncles and visited their fallen comrades who are in the cemetery and it was touching to see them put flowers among the graves.

Every Saturday at 14:00 with a tribute to one of the countries that participated here in Korea and this Saturday was the tour of Norway. The lowering of Norway and the UN flag at half mast. A brass band played a march, while six of them armed Korean troops in parade uniforms marched up to the UN flag and fired a salute.

Then they played Norway's national anthem while they hoisted up the first Norwegian flag in the top, then the UN flag.

Norway was the forward of the countries that took care of care, actually lost a soldier.

This time, the other side of the motorcycle on a tower so now we might best all the other bracket also on its way, the barn, after all.
