| Rare English Signage since out of Seoul |
The bed was really nice. Woke up at 7:30am. Got ready everything and thought of
getting a nice breakfast. Seems like the Koreans don't eat out much in the
morning. Even the fast food Lotteria was not opened yet! I was left with GS25
again.

It was a mistake to get the instant noodle. Not really a fan at all. Felt like sipping
scope and scope of junk into my stomach. Walked to the cafe last night to
access the wifi for a while before nature called. Noticed my poo poo was
kimchi-red!! Guessed too much of the local
must-have! Didn’t really fancy kimchi
back home but the kimchi here was so fresh and delicious!
Did my final round of checking in the room. Wouldn’t want to leave another needful stuff
behind. Instead, I realized there was indeed
free wifi access in the comfy of the room!!

Got my 9:15am ticket to Yeonggu. We stopped half way at Pyeongsa Service Area
for a 10 minutes break. Had some chicken
nuggets to pass time. An hour later, I reached
Yeonggu and got my ticket to Ulsan.
It seemed that the train stations in Korea were usually out of the town while the bus stations were located more city centre.

Reached Ulsan around 2:30pm. Kept my
luggage in a couple of lockers for lighter movement. In order to retrieve my smaller backpack, I
had to literally take out everything from the large backpack! Walked around the area looking for wifi and a
nice seat with power plug preferably, and bingo! Found one perfectly at the basement of a
department store, Multi Plaza, nearby the bus terminal.

Spent almost three hours there before heading to meet my friend, Vanessa, at
her school. Her direction was perfect and knowing the name of the stop just
before the one I need to alight was the most critical!

| Wonderful Korean BBQ dinner at night! |
I could have come earlier to avoid the after-office crowd. The bus was so
packed, it reminded me of the trip from Singapore to JB which I took every
Friday night when I was just started work in Singapore.
Finding the bus stop was a piece of cake. I
waited almost half an hour and when it finally arrived, the bus driver gave the
"no no" hand shake sign. I started to panic a little. My notes didn’t explain what happened next! I reckoned I still managed to find my way to
meet my friend without much problem.Met Wendy, a local Korean, and had a really nice BBQ dinner for only W5000 each!! Backed home to unload my stuffs and off we went bar hoping around with Vanessa’s friends. They were all English teachers from America!!
We came back around 3am and dropped dead tired!
