ADVENTURES IN: KOREA - Ferry onward to Busan

So, let me just say, I love ferries!! :)
You can walk around and sleep and meet lots of people. There are food places, you can get fresh air or stay inside. You can even take a bath play games... etc. The only thing is that it takes longer than a plane, but it is cheaper! :) Since I have problems sitting for long periods of time, I was so thankful that I took the ferry :)! I also got to take pictures and even better, got lots of fresh sea air :)! Kimochii ( such a great feeling) . Akie's mom had made me a lunch box (bento). It was so professional looking and delicious. She had made it while Akie and I ate breakfast, it was really kind of her, she treated me like her own. <3!! I also ate the banana bread that Enna had packed me <3! Wha... I can not say how thankful I am to God because he provided so many things, and people who care. But I know it is because he cares the most that He always looks out for his children.

Upon sunset, we were about to arrive in Busan. The ferry took about 5 hours from Fukuoka to Busan port. We were greeted by a Korean flag near the port. Finally made it! On the way off of the ferry, I met a girl who spoke only Japanese and Chinese, she and I talked while we waited to get off the ferry. She was very kind. It was pretty awesome actually, especially since she was a foreign student in Japan as well and around the same age. :) One of the 1st interesting things that I noticed when we got off the ferry was that the escalators were not stairs... but ramps! :O! .. such a good idea!!

After customs, we parted our ways (after exchanging information) and MJ was waiting with her mom to pick me up at the dock. <3!
Mj and her mom were very kind and we all went out to eat at a buffet. The food was overwhelmingly abundant and also was very delicious! I got to try so many Korean foods at once. WOW! I didn't even know until that moment that Korea had their own mochi. I thought that only Japanese people made mochi. But in Korea they have many kinds and they are filled with healthy foods :O! I was so startled!~ :)
After finishing dinner, we headed back home and meet up with Mj's dad. Later we all took a walk :)
It was funny because her mom asked if I wanted to go on a run with them and I got SO excited!! But what I found out later is that she meant to say walk. :P! Mj's mom was so kind, the entire time we could not communicate at all.. but she still tried to understand.. and I asked MJ to translate, but I think that it became to tiring :/. Whaa!! even with Akie's mom, sometimes communication was an issue. (this became a common theme the entire trip :(... )

After the walk (which Mj and I got to talk about a lot, praise the LORD for that too, it made me think and realize a lot of things that I miss out on a lot of times because while going though things you cant see them, its not until afterwards or even talking about things out loud that you see.. oOOoOo I see what God did there :)!! ) (BIG SMILE)

SLeeping time... wait.. shower 1st!
SO .. shower time.. and MJ explained to me how to use the shower. So.. ok okokk.. it looks the same as other ones.. okk.
But.. once I had to use it..... it took me a good.. 5-10 minutes to figure out how to turn it on!!! :O! It was a bit different than I had expected. :P. Note to self. Stop being a know it all and shutting my brain out to the instructions being given!!! ( whaaa.. it happens at work too some times... :((( .. sigh... will I ever learn? ) .. ( WHO knows.. ?? :P )
So after trying and trying... I finally figured it out.. ( I was too embarrassed to ask MJ again... ) . So .. shower.. MISSION COMPLETEDD!!! .. Next quickly Facebook and .... SLEEEPING TIME.. we have to get up early in the morning :( .. because we have to catch a train to Seoul. :)
before I knew it, it was wake up time?? !!! Arienaiyo ( unbelievable)
