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. ^___^
I've only got 1 more day to go! Ask me some questions here on the blog,
