I just love that the ship gave you those "please take me to ..." cards. It is a terrific idea and more cruise lines should do that. Isn't Pusan a lovely city? Your LO is wonderful with the map and money. I have been looking forward to your Korea LOs after living there twice.
Good that you didn't lose a valuable ID piece. Hope they can't use it somehow to crash a license plate exhibit in the future. :) Like that you put an arrow on the map to illustrate where you were.
Tuesday, October 11th – Can't wait to finish breakfast; by then the ship will be cleared and we can get out and explore Busan. We made plans to tour the city with Gary, Bev and a few other friends.
Our destination was the Besoan Buddhist Temples. Bill wanted to use one of the free audio cassettes with walking tour which explained all the temple. In order to use it he had to give them a piece of ID to hold. He gave them the most useless ID he had – a membership card to one of the license plate collector clubs that expired in 2005. No photo – just a piece of paper. They held it and said they would return it when he returned the cassette player.
When we got through walking through the temples at 12:15 the person in the cassette room would not be back from lunch for 45 minutes. Finally Bill found one of the employees and gave them the cassette player. However, they couldn't get in the locked office to get his license plate collectors membership card which was fine with Bill, since it expired 6 years earlier.
We took the city bus from the temples to the subway station. An hour later we got off the subway and walked a block to the fish market. Vendors were on both sides of the street selling fish and seafood. I thought that was the fish market, then we came to the huge 2-story building comparable to a WalMart. They were selling fish of every description, lobsters, crabs, squid, octopus, muscles, clams, shrimp and dozens of dead and alive seafood we couldn't identify. We didn't go upstairs to see the restaurants.
The signs all said, “World's Largest Fish Market”. It may well have been.
Then we caught the shuttle back to our ship for a hamburger by the pool and chill time in our cabin before dinner.
