These photo's are a little haphazard so todays game will be to match the storey with the photo.
On Friday I managed to find my way to the Suwon wall and strolled around saying hello to approx 5000 kids coming the other way.
After Cam and Penny finished work we caught the train down to Pusan. We got there about midnight but without hitch got to the hotel. The hotel was excellent about 100meters to the beach. In my room there was the arrangement you see of an alternative way down from the 8th floor if lifts or stairs were not your style. The next morning was a stroll down the beach where there was an international kite flying competition. There was a NZ team which appeared not to have anyone from NZ . The highlight were the satorially sensational Japanese team. Cam also got to spend time with the Zen Kite master who had a huge kite layed out on the beach beside which he would walk gracefully slowly besides at various times looking very regal and giving advice to those lucky enough to receive an audience. There was an aquariam close by which was good value. We took a boat trip with the highlight being to work out how those that were fishing on rocks, islands and at the bottom of large cliffs could have got there or more importantly how they would get away from them. The logical explanation would have been that this is where they lived and just stayed there.
In the evening we went to a fancy restaurant overlooking the beach for a beautiful meal. It wasn't very Korean but that didn't seem to bother anyone.
The next morning we all swam in the East China sea and it really was beautiful. It drew crowds of people to watch people who actually got in.
A chinese lunch and back onto the train not before I realised I had forgotten my bag in the restaurant. Cam was a little exasperated by the clearly Alzheimic father, although when we got there and in fact his bag was the first bag they gave us back he understood there may have been other circumstances than just plain dementia. Back in Seoul we caught a cab to building 63 which is the highest builing. Great view. Afterwards a nice Italian meal and then back to Suwon. A great weekend. I headed over to the Gym again this morning and managed not to need the guidance of anyone.
Am having a great time although the time is rushing past
