Yeosu Expo

Today we had to get up early yet again to take the bus to Yeosu expo.

It takes about 4 hours to get there.
 Not funny AT all.

So we searched around for food and a bank first and after that we went to the bus terminal, bought tickets and waited.
While we were waiting some ajumma sat down next to Bert and tried to talk with him.
Ofcourse Bert still understands very little korean and didn't understand her.
After a while he found out that she was trying to explain that he wrote the hangul for some kind of metro station wrong.
Brilliant.

At 10.20 we got inside the bus and left Daegu behind us.
We sat at the back since it's the only spot that hold up to more than just 2 people.
The busses from around Daegu must have some kind of rocket blast-off programmed in it since we were going as fast as a turtle with a jetpack.
I can't remember travelling this fast by bus EVER.
This part of Korea has REALLY bumpy and narrow streets so you definitely needed to wear your seatbelt.
I was really scared in the beginning and I was thinking: ''How are people able to sleep in these kind of busses?''

When we finally arrived at Yeosu at about 14:00.
We walked straight to the reserved tickets booth.

Some girl there asked us what we were looking for.
So Bert showed her the ticket.
She said : ''WOW, that is really expensive, you could just buy a 3000 won ticket''
(We had the ones that cost 30.000 won per person)
About 21 euro, so that's alot of difference.
The girl told Bert that he could cancel his tickets online.
Yet another Korean girl that saved the day.

We went to the entrance and it was CROWDED and so hot everywhere.
From that moment on I knew we weren't able to see everything in one day or even 2.
And we only had 4 hours to spend.

We went into this marine civilization centre and got an english tour.
It was about how mankind was able to build boats and how seacraft worked.
Also a lot of information about trading and selling goods overseas.
And seacraft in the future and being to live on the water with luxury.

I'm so impressed about how they were able to build all these things.
Screens and little machines everywhere. I mean. They even had an aquarium (which we weren't able to visit because it was extremely crowded and the line of people was just insane)
Amazing exposition.
Even if I didn't got to see much.

We met up with Jooyoung at 16:00 (she works at Yeosu Expo) but she couldn't find us so it took another half our.
At about 16.30 she finally found us and we had just an hour to walk around with her since she had a job as a interpreter. 

So we visited the Netherlands pavilion.
Look, there is even dutch tv on the television screen.
I was so suprised to see dutch tv in Korea.

I got to see a lot about our country (I almost knew all of the things that were in there but that's no suprise.)
Almost the whole pavilion was about our dikes and our polders.
Also a little artwork from Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt.

But this was the coolest thing ever :

Even though they didn't sell Frikadellen or Kroketten.
They actually put applepie pieces on sticks and put it in there.
HOW CAN KOREA KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!?
We don't put those things in there at all.
We like to put greasy things in there instead!

So then we visited the belgium pavilion.

There was this cartbord picture of the Belgium football team and all I could do was laugh.
Let's be honest.
That team doesn't even get to play half of the time and when they do.. they suck.
They should've put waffles or belgian fries instead!

After visiting both the pavilions it was already time to go back to the bus terminal and go back to Daegu.
So we took the shuttle bus back to the terminal bought something to eat and something to drink and went inside the bus.
I slept half of the time and for some reason the bus drive took only 3 hours to get to Daegu.

Good deed of the day in Daegu : Gave a homeless person my tuna sandwiches since i didn't wanted them anymore and he looked really hungry!
So instead of throwing it away in the trash I gave it to him.
He said : Are you from America?
I said : No, Nederlandeu.
I didn't think he understood but whatever.
He looked happy.

 Annyeonghi gyeseyo!
