Today we hiked up to Gamcheon Cultural Village. As refugees of the war came south to avoid the conflict, some started to settle on the hills at what was then outskirts of Busan. Today it’s a brightly colored collection of houses, cafes, stores and art studios.
Houses are stacked up on top of each other in a way that exceeds even San Francisco.
Then we headed over to the school my wife worked with that teaches children of ( or that were) North Korean defectors. Didnt get any pics of that, but there’s a nice park along the seashore of the man-made peninsula it sits on.
There was a nice cafe near this where we had korean shaved ice, “bing su”, while looking out at the park.
Tomorrow will be a day trip tour of Gyeong-ju, which was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla.
