Japan!!!

So... Well we haven't yet done a blog about Japan yet. I know I know you've been waiting with abated breath.

The trip starts with a bus ride... well it ends with a bus ride as well for that matter. Tara and I have live in Ulsan (as you know.) We have to catch a bus to Busan which is about 45 min away. Not a bad ride aside from the 30 min bus ride to the bus terminal in New Downtown Ulsan. We rather enjoy the ride down there. The countryside is very beautiful! We reach the Busan bus terminal which is also the subway station. After navigating the ticket system with the help of a kind older man we are on our way to the International Ferry Terminal. Once we get there we find the terminal and then a hotel. You see we decided to spend the night in Busan. Our ferry is at nine the next morning. Even though we asked the travel agent for the later ferry (but you know these crazy Koreans.) The hotel we find is really close to the ferry so we think we're in luck. WRONG! Even though we loved the shower (water pressure... finally) the beds were almost rock hard and the pillows the same. We take our losses and head out to explore Busan. Trying to find a restaurant has never been more fun than when your hungry, tired, lost, and you don't speak the language. Yeah at this point... all we can think is "Busan sucks." After our adventure and interesting dinner, we head down to the "waterfront." We grabbed a beer and were "forced" to get the "official Korean style beer." (Which included a ten dollar plate of processed cheese that we did not order.) We were just to tired to argue with the guy so we took it. Heading back to the hotel room we settle on watching a random English movie and try to fall asleep on our nice hard bed. This is how we felt:

The next day, however, we were tired but very excited! I mean it's not everyday that you get to go to Japan!!! The ferry was really cool. It was a "hydrofoil" which means that it rides on top of the water- it is much more smooth and cuts the riding time in half. The trip went by extremely fast. (Plus everything goes by quicker when you're passed out.) Over all the trip was about three hours.
We finally get to JAPAN!!!!
