I spent the morning in the museum which is in the centre of town, and there was just one other visitor. Signs were in Korean, Japanese and English so there was a lot to learn about Busan from the time when the Japanese demanded trading rights in 1877 and the present day. It is housed in the building the Japanese built for their organisation that took over farming land here. After WWII the US used it as the American Culture centre until a patriot burned it in 1982. . . an appropriate building for the purpose.
As an antidote, I wandered around endless markets. I found the fish markets which are huge. This city of 2million eats heaps more fish than we do in all of Oz, I suspect.
Jo is taking the day off from the conference, so he will join my rambles.
