Day 30 - Sunday Service in Busan on Gwangalli Beach

This is officially the last day of the 30 day blog! *sob* *sniff*

I spent this day in Busan with my friend and fellow Korea-video blogger Avery aka AbatarTeacher.

After traveling like a runaway slave on Saturday, I decided to sleep in on Sunday and head to a 130 pm service at the Busan campus of the church I attend in Seoul: New Philadelphia Church. Afterwards, I went out to eat with a bunch of people at a little Western food pub called Sharkey's. The food was good. It was nice to catch up with a few old friends and get to know a couple of new folks too.

Sadly, it was so cold, I forgot to take any footage of the beach! #FAIL

Anyway, I'm sure I've said it before, but I highly recommend spending time in Busan if you come to Korea. You won't be sorry you did! ^___^

Day 29 - Ferry from Busan, Korea to Tsushima, Japan

So, as I mentioned in Day 3, I needed to do a "visa run" to maintain my legal status in Korea. The procedure is pretty similar to anywhere else in the world where two countries have entry agreements allowing tourists to stay for a specified period of time: You go out. You come back in! Simple as that.

I had planned to spend New Year's with a friend in Shanghai but China's newest in the series of ever-changing visa policies made that impossible. After planning to 'not really plan a vacation/visa run,' I decided I'd take the quickest means to that end and do a single-day trip to Japan.

Never having taken a high-speed ferry before, I also opted for the shortest option--a 2-hour ride to Tsushima Island as opposed to a 3-hr ride to the more popular Fukuoka port, which I do not regret in the least after experiencing the ride!

For those who care, I used Daea Express. I wasn't impressed with their check-in service but the boat was adequate. As before, I'm not a big fan of fast boats 'cause I'm well aware of my capacity for seasickness but as long as I can put together a good plan for knocking myself out for the duration of the ride, I might do it again. ^___^
