Busan to Seoul

Filed as: Korea and Culture // Responses: 28

The Busan International Film Festival is in full force now, and Simon got to go to it for two days. Huzzah! During those two days, we got lots of footage for a video or two. For now, though, we wanted to do a bit of an artsy movie, so bear with us! A while ago we did a video about the Korean Subway, but that was just of a short subway ride. This time, Simon set up the camera to take a video of the ride back from Busan to Seoul via the Korea Train Express (KTX). We mashed three hours into four minutes, and cut out all of the boring parts (like in the tunnels, for example – because dark tunnels make for boring movies). The clouds were perfect for that day, and the scenery is just gorgeous. And – wow – does Korea ever have a lot of mountains! Take a look!

Loved watching those clouds roll by. Crossing the Han at the end was gorgeous, all those blurring bridges.

I was there too. How many movies were you able to see? I saw 6 and was very lucky to get them all online. No standing in a line up at 6am for me!

I actually only got to see one: Under the Hawthorn Tree, which was saaaaaaaAAAAaaaaDDDD! I wish I could have seen more, because the press pass lets me get into any movie for free. Bah!

Oh my God, It's eerie at the same time. We don't have mountains here in Toronto. :/

It was roughly 40,000-50,000 won for the trip. It varied to and from Seoul.

Hey, I'm a student from Busan studying in Seoul. It's a great vid, especially the part where clouds are rolling :)

For your tip, the scenery's really great from Busan(especially around Mulgeum ë¬¼ê¸ˆ) to Daegu, even better if you sit on the left side. Well, to be honest with, it used to be great but now they are digging out the riversides and it isn't pretty anymore… :( Daegu~Daejeon is mostly tunnels because it's where the trains must pass the mountains. For me, it's the moment to get some sleep! :P

About the fare: weekdays are cheaper (especially Wednesday if I remember correctly) and weekends (including Friday) are slightly more expensive(7.5%~30%). Also backward seats are slightly cheaper, and the ones with four seats together give the best rate. ("ë™ë°˜ì¢Œì„") So if you can, fetch two more people to travel with you!

Have a nice trip to Busan if you ever do (again)! :)
