The hydrofoil got us here to Japan in 3 hours. Then it took an hour to get through immigration and by bus to the hotel which is only a mile or two from the ferry terminal. When I asked at reception what special was happening, she said. . . It is always busy.
So we went to the JR station to find an ATM. It is huge. It includes the bus terminal and the metro station as well as goodness knows how many food stores and department stores as well as shops of all kinds. It is like Bondi Junction on mega steroids.
We wandered around getting lost. Finally found somewhere to get some cash, some lunch and a bottle of wine to recover with. There must be something special going on. Everybody was so excited and buying heaps of stuff.
Initial comparison of the Japanese with the Koreans in Busan:
The Koreans love bling and casual sports gear.
The Japanese dress in neutral colours but have a weakness for shoes, especially platform shoes. One lady wore high heeled, grey Wellies which had a rubber bow behind.
