Pohang Pros and Cons

Pohang Pros and Cons:



Panorama of Pohang





My lunch in Pohang -
I Had Eel!



Pros:     

Jukdo Market

1. Most importantly: Easy to understand and use public transport system. T-money cards = discounts.                                                 

2. Convenience that being in a main city brings (Big department stores, food options) just             generally more options when it comes to choosing food and cost of living)                                 

3. LOADS to do!                                                                                                                                                                               

4. It’s on the coast (though I have seen more impressive beaches) it is still great to have               taken a walk into the ocean (And a very warm ocean as it happens!) (I have now stood in 3             oceans!).                                                                                                                                                                            

5. THERE IS A CLIMBING GYM! (It is small but brilliant for traverse and strength training)                    6^th but probably most meaningful: Amazing people!

Thanks Dan (Top bloke) for letting me crash in your bed while you crashed on the floor, great to meet Brandon (From Chicago) and Joe (from Huddersfield), Malinde it was great to see you too. Sam, happy birthday for tomorrow and thanks for the generosity. It was reminiscent of home and my times with Faye, the way you and Courtney interacted. Finally, Courtney, glad you are feeling better and things have gotten off to a good start with your place, it’s always great to hang out with you. TOP PEOPLE ALL OF YOU!

HERE’S TOO MAY MORE VISITS TO POHANG!

Cons:    

1. Despite great user friendly transport – expenses add up!                                                                       

2. All the Pohang crew live far apart and much organisation and bus travelling (hence         incurred expense) is required. I think I spent close to W20 000 in travel expense for the 1 and a half in Pohang.                                                                                                                                                      3. Most things require the use of busses, even shopping – Expense increases.                                   4. EVERY SHOP has a stereo playing music outside to attract customers (SESORY OVERLOAD!)

Waiting and people watching (for Courtney and Dan)
