A couple of weeks ago we jumped on the KTX Bullet Train and took a trip to Busan, located in the Southern tip of South Korea. Busan is the second largest city in South Korea teeming with nearly 4 million people. It seemed that at least one fourth of those people were on the beach during our visit. 
Busan is famous for many things, one of those being Haeundae Beach. That is where our hotel was located. We stayed at the Novotel Ambassador and were fortunate to have a view of the beach from our hotel room window.
We spent three days at the beach and the only way to describe it is-- HOT. The heat and the humidity were intense. We spent a couple of hours each day lounging on the beach--if you can call it that. The density of people on the beach was beyond description. There were so many umbrellas on the beach that you couldn't see the sand. To get to the water to cool off you had to take a number (not really). It was a unique experience. 
In addition to our fun on the beach our time in Busan included cooling off in coffee shops, eating some great food and hanging out with some old friends. We enjoyed connecting with John and Peter in Busan (TCIS graduates).
When the crowds got to be too much we retreated to our hotel room and watched the Olympics. We had a great time hanging out together as a family in Busan.
