Surely not more view
Busan station area and Choryang
Don't call me Shirley.
If you like pictures of city buildings shot from above, you will like Busan. You will probably be sick of it by the time I leave on Friday. But for now, strap in for more of the same.
I headed back to the main Busan station area and followed an outdoor drain up a hill. This proved fruitful as the top of the hill of course, had a great view. Everywhere has a great view.
There were also temples. There were also paths up the small mountains behind the buildings, but I did not venture up as it was getting dark and I did not want to get too sweaty before dinner.
Then there was just enough time to wander down through peoples living rooms and end up having the first bibimbap of this trip.
Lets follow this stream/sewer and see where it goes. You are no longer allowed to go down there and walk at water level. I think you could last time I was here.
Starting off with a low down view, but already, ascending staircases.
I kept going until I got to the temple at the top. There was no one around at all. Probably because there are no blossoms.
The left view. I was somewhere about 30km away in that direction earlier today.
The right view. You can see the Busan tower on the extreme right edge of this picture, which is the area where my hotel is at.
I climbed further up around the back of the temple to get a shot of the view plus temple.
Going down, and it seems like I am trespassing. I am sure there were many sets of eyes on me at all times. There are also a lot of cameras. The cameras surely see into peoples houses.
Last view shot for today. The big building on the left is a high school. Not the shiny towers, the concrete monolith on the extreme left.
Now to examine the local recycling centre. In this shot is random crap.
Where as in this pile, pots and pans. There were also a lot of fans for some reason (not pictured).
That is where I had come back down from. A nice walk.
Now to head back down the same stream / sewer. You saw it earlier on the way up, here it is on the way down.
The local market was closing. Impressive roof.
Next I went along Texas street, which I showed the other night. Turns out it is more like Filipino street and is mainly brothels. I saw some 'girls' waiting to start their shift hanging around. People were not too amused at me pointing my camera at them.
Time to run away from the mob bosses and head into a place where they cannot get me. Busan station. They spent a fortune deciding on their city slogan.
And finally, first bibimbap of the trip. No meat. Flavourless until I added a lot of Gochujang.
It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow. My day on / day off hiking schedule might be blown!
