How I spent my summer: Or why would anyone want to tour Southeast Asia in the Summer?

Part 4
From Hong Kong we sailed to Busan, South Korea

For lunch we found a Korean BBQ. These dishes are the various sauces and spices for adding to the barbequed pork, which is all rolled up in several types of leaves. All this for 2 people.

We went to a Korean baseball game and this is their version of the rally cap.
When the game is over, they put their trash in the bags.

This ended our Southeast Asia tour and all that was left was the 12 day ocean voyage back to San Diego.

    Ah it's nice seeing some pics of Japan in there :) I've been to Kyoto, Osaka and Nara myself... looks like you got to see some real good highlits of the country, lovely shots.

    Oh and the pointing at plastic food had to be my favorite thing to do when I was unsure about what things were :) My reading skills have improved greatly since then, but it sure was a life saver at the time.
