Busan

We started our first full day in Busan with a visit to the largest local flea market. There, Samed struck gold in a small camera shop—he found the camera of his dreams. My attempts to communicate with a local ball-bearing vendor, however, to purchase a potential part for our future robotics projects, were unsuccessful.

After another Korean meal, we set out on a hike up a mountain high above Busan. As the humidity continued to rise (eventually exceeding 85%) and rain gradually began to fall, we spontaneously decided to visit a temple at the edge of a village.

The ride back on one of the public buses turned out to be a real roller coaster ride: more than once, we were completely lifted out of our seats and continued floating freely.

When we finally arrived at our lodging, we struck up a friendship with a Japanese man who was on his way back to Tokyo.
