From Korea - October 29th and 30th

So good to be met by Minju and Jordan at the airport in Busan. We had been in transit for about 20 hours, with no sleep. We spent the following day recovering and the day after that we did some exploring of local fish, veggie, and fruit markets. Jordan and Minju live in an apartment complex right on the harbour in Tongyeong.
