Seok Seung-Kyun is my warmshower host today,a young handsome young man replied to my request, and also able to secure a bike box for my flight tomorrow from Busan to Tokyo.SSK need to go to the church in the morning so can only meet me at the port at 5 pm, he stay alone in a rented studio unit about 200 m away. So I have plenty of time to hang around, I went to the nearby Jagaichi market and Yongdusan Park where The Busan Tower located at the top, but the park looks more like the elderly to spend their time resting,meeting up with old friend, and to play chess,I spent sometimes up there and watch their activity, very refreshing with the wind blowing from the sea coast, the younger generations were more attached to the busy shopping streets. SSK is a social worker,so i paid for my own share at the dinner of pollack fish cooked with long beam sprout with source like spaghetti source.He helped me to pack up my bike in the box, cos' tomorrow he has to see a doctor to treat his swollen right leg stung by a bee, but he promise to return by noon to send me to airport on his car, such a nice guy where you can only meet on bike touring.Well, I will see you all in Japan, but I guess won't be that often as free WiFi is hardly available in Japan as compared to Korea.

Bike firmly secured with all the ropes available but self service
