Place: Busan
Sightseeing course: (1) Daejongdae Course, (2) Hae-undae Course
Partner: Mr. Matsumoto
My Japanese hiking pal, Mr. Matsumoto, decided to join AhToSan to go trekking in China. The trip to China is from May 5 to 10, 5 stays and 6 days. So, I went to Busan to see him at the port on May 4.
I ate the last portion of left-over “sujebi”from the last hike on May 1 as my breakfast, then hurried to the subway station by taxi. I arrived at the station at 5:05 however, the first subway started at 5:30 and arrived at Daejeon Station at 5:50.
The KTX train for Busan left at 6:31 and arrived at Busan at 8:16 (7 minutes delay, but they do not care at all! No announcement for the delay, and no apology! Quite different from Japanese railway service.) Anyway, I hurried to the Busan International Terminal and arrived at the harbor at around 8:30.
Mr. Matsumoto was waiting for me at the loby on the 1st floor. Then we walked to Busan Station slowly. He had a big bag, and several small bags with him.
[Mr. Matsumoto at 75 Square, 75広場にて松本氏、75광장에서 마쓰모토 씨]We put our bags into the coin locker, and took City Tour in Busan. There are 3 courses available for a day. 1) Daejongdae Course, 2) Midtown Course, 3) Haeundae Course.
When I came to Busan with Alan, we took 2) and 3), so this time I chose 1) and 3). City Tour costs 10,000 won (about 800 yen) and the ticket is good for all three courses, and can use any time for the day.
The first bus was an open-air style, without roof. It was a fine day, so we could enjoy nice views from the top seats.
We got off at “75 Square” where there were well-facilitated stairs and roads for strolling to the beach. We walked along the pathways to the beach. There were dozens of big ships on the blue sea-water, and some women divers working near the shore.

Then we rode on the next bus and went to “Daejongdae.” “Daejongdae” was named after King Taejong Muyeol (602 – 661) who won the war against Baekjae ((Hangul: 백제; Hanja: 百濟, Korean pronunciation: [pɛk̚tɕ͈e]) (18 BCE – 660 CE) and Yamato (Japan) with the help of Tang Dynasty (China: 618–907).

We took much time of sightseeing in Busan here. It used to be an island called “Yeongdo”but, now it is connected with two big bridges with Busan. It is the southern tip of the peninsula, and the part of Busan Bay. The scenery of the sea, and seashores were very beautiful, esp. because it was a fine day.
[A lighthouse at Daejondae, 太宗台の灯台、태종대 등대]We walked around the island (about 5 km) and it took us for an hour. We fully enjoyed the stroke-trekking around the island, so after the walk, we just returned to the station.
We could use of our one-day ticket, without paying extra money. So, we took the another sightseeing bus of “HaeUnDae Course” and this time we did not get off at all, but just enjoyed seeing the scenary from the window.

[Buddha is on the dragon back, 龍の背中の上にお釈迦様？용을 타고 계신 부처님]We took 4:30 pm KTX and went to Daejeon. We arrived at my studio apartment at 6 p.m., then we went to the public bath house. There, both of us had “Ttemili (a body-scrubber) Service.” It costs 11,000 won (about 850 yen). It was his first experience. I use this service usually once a week.
I went Stammtisch to see my foreign friends in Daejeon, while Mr. Matsumoto waited for me at my room. We enjoyed “Asahi beer” after the meeting at my room. This was the pre-China Trip party with Mr. Matsumoto.
旅行月日：2011年5月4日(水)晴れ
旅行地：釜山
コース：シティ・ツアー「太宗台」および「海雲台」コース
同行者：松本氏
アトサンによる「中国泰山・崂山トレッキングツアー」に参加するため、松本さんが九州から関釜フェリーで釜山に到着するので、釜山港まで出迎えに行く。
4時半までに最後のスジェビの朝食を済ませ、タクシーで政府庁舎駅へ向かった。地下鉄の駅には5時5分に到着(5000ウォン)した。しかし、地下鉄の始発は政府庁舎駅5時半発で、大田駅へは5時50分に到着した。
釜山行のKTXは6時31分発で釜山着は8時6分(3万500ウォン)。これなら港に8時半までには着く。
KTXは2分遅れで到着。順方向の席で気分良い。釜山へは7分遅れで8:16に到着。それでも釜山港には8時半ごろ到着した。
松本さんを１Fの待合室で無事ピックアップ。釜山駅まで徒歩で約20分。釜山駅の１Fの指紋で施錠するコインロッカーは数が少なかったがちょうど空きがあった。使用方法は日本語でも書いてあるがいまいち分かりにくかった。
アリランホテル前で太宗台コースのシティツアーバスに乗り、「75広場」で下車した。海岸まで続く階段を下り、海女が数人、海に潜るのをゆったりと見学した。

「75広場」で約30分ほど過ごし、次に来たバスで太宗台へ向かった。太宗台に着いたのは11時近く。小腹がすいたのでファミリーマートでおにぎり2個を買い、店で食べてから、太宗台一周コースを歩いた。

[The entrance of Daejondae, 太宗台入口、태종대 입구]このコースは車道だが、一般車を通行止めにしているようで、車はほとんどなく、安心して歩けた。

景観の良い海岸をちょうど1時間ほどで一周し、次のバスに乗るため、再度ファミリーマートでパンと牛乳を購入、600ウォンのドリップ式コーヒーを手にバスに乗ってバス内で食べた。
いったん釜山駅前へ戻り、次の海雲台周遊コースに乗り、今回は下車しないでバス観光のみに徹した。このコースでは有名な観光地である海雲台周辺の景観が良かった。
天気も良く、風景も良く、楽しむことができた。3時半ごろ、釜山駅にもどり、ロッカーを開けようとしたが、これも使用方法がよくわからず、管理人室から出てきた人にあけてもらった。そうこうしているうちに4時近くなり、4時半のKTXで大田へ向かった。

大田には6時半に到着。地下鉄に乗り換え、政府庁舎前で降りてタクシーで新城洞へ7時過ぎに到着後、二人でサウナへ向かった。
よく食べた割には体重は66kgのまま。4kg減量に成功か。ワンルームに戻って、前日購入したアサヒスーパードライを飲んでからスタムティッシュに向かった。
スタムティッシュでは外国人はアランと私だけ。韓国人はヒョンとジュンがそれぞれ友人を一人ずつつれてきて4人。松本さんが博多から持参した「博多通りもん」を皆で食べた。
ワンルームでは松本さんにベットと毛布を提供、私は床に布団を敷いてくるまって寝たが、床が固くて寝心地が悪かった。
