Busan here we Come!

My little one is now 23 months old are we are on the way to Busan by train in couple of hours.  I'll update information when I get back. However, if you are planning to go to Busan, I recommend going to the Pyeongtaek station and buying your tickets ahead of time so you get the time you want and get seats. Standing with a little one is not ideal.

Train to Busan from Pyeongtaek

You can go on the regular train and than transfer to KTX train from Daejeon.  It's about 3 hours. This way it cuts the time about 1 hour from the Sae mah rool (the train that's a bit faster than the regular train) and with the regular train straight to Busan is 5 hours.

This weekend in Busan there is a sand festival from June 6th- June 9th.


*Update on transportation

My friends went there by car on the same weekend and ended taking about 8 hours getting down to Busan from Seoul.  It was due to heavy traffic because it was a korean holiday weekend.  It would normally take about 4-5 hours according to the GPS.
