Since I have a limited amount of time off, especially days grouped together, I planned ahead and bought KTX tickets for Busan this week because of the 4 day vacation. No special reason though, I just wanted to ride the KTX high-speed train and travel outside of Seoul in the company of the girl. It was a memorable trip. The train was so smooth as it peaked at speeds of 300km/hr (~186mph) without you knowing it. The weather was beautiful along with the beach. We saw some interesting fish at the Busan Aquarium and some weird art at the Busan Museum of Modern Art. Everything was great and I have the pictures to prove it.

It was almost a year ago when I got my first Korean cell phone. It was simple, but slick. It had all the functions I needed and then some. Never had a problem, until last week. The navigational and other key buttons decided not to work anymore. Everything else was fine, except I couldn’t scroll or send text messages. Also the internal mic went out. Not having a cell phone in Korea, is like not having hot water in the U.S. Ok maybe not that bad, but it was concerning for me and for Jeong-in. So last weekend we did our research and went shopping. Korean phones have a new technology that broadcast high speed television to your phone. My new phone has that and the service is free! Also a 2.0 megapixel camera and mp3 player. The phone is huge too, because of the camera, but not like a PDA. I’m just worried I’m going to knock somebody out with. Here’s what it looks like:
