Busan - arrival

Conference time. This translates to the extraordinary - at least on the inside - paradise hotel at the water front of Haeundae beach and excellent dinner with by our Korean hosts pre-selected dishes. In contrast to the other Germans at the conference, Claudine, Johannes and I arrived by train (KTX - the Korean TGW) and were extremely well rested after a comfortable three hour trip. Upon arriving at the hotel we took a stroll along the beach then joined a few of the other conference attendees for dinner in the in-house Korean restaurant, which turned out to be an excellent choice since Busan is one of the greatest places for fish and that is what we got. To give you an impression of just how nice the beach and hotel were, I decided to also show you the nicest shots of the immediate area. The only disadvantage of the hotel was that they did not offer free internet access. There was a free wireless network in the area, but it was so slow it took an entire talk - uh: I mean almost thirty minutes - jsut to check the e-mail. I didn't even think about uploading pictures there.
