Hello from Busan

안녕하세요 여러분...hi all..
Im writting this while waiting for my train from Busan station to Seoul station... I have been in Busan since the 13h of april.
So for those of you guys who would like to go on a trip to Busan later on sit tight and sit back all give you a few pointers on how to go to Busan and what to visit.

To Busan by train (KTX bullet train)
You can either go to Busan by flight or by ktx train. I prefer via train because it is a great experience and it is much more cheaper. It cost me about 110,000₩  to and fro. And it takes about 3 hrs from Seoul station. While on the way from Seoul to Busan it will stop at a few others stops and it will annouce the stops in korean, chinese, japanese and english. So no need to worry if you dont understand korean. It also has a few monitors in each car and it announces there too. For 1st class seat it will cost you about 180,000₩ to and fro.

How to Board the train
After you have purchase the train ticket you will have these infos from your ticket.
*time depart n arrive.
*car no.
*seat no.
*train no.
But you wont have the track/platform no. on it. Fist your need to figure out the platform no. to know where to board the train. You can get the platform no from LED departure boards all around the station. The number will show up within 1 hr before departure time. After you find out your track number you can board the train at the platform. When you arrive at the platform you can find your car number on the train and on the platform and then you can board your train there. :)
I went to Busan straight after i arrived from Jeju. You might want to buy your tickets a few days before you depart because it is fast selling. I bought mine 3 days before my departure date and i got on the 2nd last car. Huhu.
What to see in Busan?
Ok thats all for now... I will tell you more about my jeju trip when i got the time.
