Busan

Today was another busy day - this time in the coastal city of Busan. First we visited APEC (Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperative) where a large economic summit was held in 2005. Then we walked along Haeundae Beach, the most famous beach in Korea. Next was the UN Memorial and Cemetery for the Korean War, which was really amazing. Then we went and saw a lighthouse at the top of a mountain on the edge of the South Sea - the edge of Korea!

I don't see you wearing much Hokie gear. Don't forget where you came from.

Just kidding, well ... not really.

Keep it Korean,

Great pictures! Still jealous I am not there. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures when you get home - which will be soon! Yeah! Miss you!

I represented the Hokie colors on my last day out. I wore my VT football shirt for my 26 hour travel day. Also, I will now be referred to as Rexton - its a type of SUV made by Samsung in Korea. Samsung and LG make EVERYTHING there!
