continuation ....... Today 15th september 2012 Got chance to visit ULSAN SOUTH KOREA:
ULSAN is an industrial city of South Korea ,mainly into ship building . Today got chance to go out ,Me left the ship with my 3rd engineer at 1400 hrs. I have searched the google for the places of interest and found one old Buddhist temple name BULGUKSA BELL is near by the city. So we went to money changer and asked him about the place and he told it far almost one hour journey by train from ULSAn. so we changed the money and call taxi for ULSAN railway station and there we reach and asked for the train to BULGUKSA and found train at 1608 hrs so we bought the ticket and return train at 2034 hours. so we were having one hour for the train ,we went to nearby shopping mall and saw the latest electronic equipments but rate are at par with Indian market. after passing one hour we came to railway station and caught the train. The train journey was of almost 40m minutes but it was beautiful sites outside all hills around little drizzling with clouds and pleasant weather. we reached the railway station of BULGUSKA and outside the station we found one group of English speaking couples which were doing their social voluntarily duties for the week end ,so they dropped in their cars to the Temple. their gesture was really appreciable. when we reach the Temple location this was amazing on hills ,natural beauty ,i am not getting the words to explain but we feel like we are in heavens , so this was a location if we can dream of heavens so this can be the place. there we find plenty of tourist from around the globe, almost all the big name in hotel industry like HOTEL HILTON ,CONCORD to name a few were there in that place. we visited the temple and read the history and its explained the temple was built somewhere in 750 AD. IN all and all its like life time opportunity to see the place. Then we came back to the railway station to catch the train but having time so we had dinner and drinks. Cought the train back to ULSAN. Then went to shopping mall and did some shopping. Then we were looking for some night life a good disc ,we went to the happening adresses ,so they were full and no entry ,then we went to a place HOLYWOOD CLUB ,had few drinks and now came back on ship. So had a nice day.
