I have been quite busy as my host family has been showing me around town! Here are a few pictures to capture what I've been up to.

Beomeosa Temple situated on Geumjeongsan Mountain: 

My host sisters Min-ju and Na-Hyun:

 A view of part of Busan:

Haeundae Beach: 

 A looking point over part of the city and ocean:

 A different beach that we also went to...

 A traditional Korean market:

 This is what a typical building looks like:

 Site of the APEC SUMMIT 2005 - Busan Korea meeting. It is a gorgeous structure with outstanding views of the ocean.

 Finally, me with my host mom.

I have started to settle in and have begun to navigate things on my own. The subway system is fairly self-explanatory and the stops have English character translations, allowing me to follow. However, the bus is an entirely a different matter...

Today I am just taking it easy, getting my bearings and trying to gather materials for working at the university soon! I think tonight my host family is taking me somewhere to show me a new part of Busan. It is so nice to have them to show me around. I would have never seen as much so far if it had not been for them!
