Starting to go places.

 Pohang and Geongju are that way!

 Daegu and Dongdaegu are that way!





     After ten stamps on the coupon card they gave me, the kind workers at Burnham Burgers gave me a free meal.  They baked their own burger buns.  They hand made each and every burger patty.  They cooked each meal to order.  One time, the gave me a free hot mocha because, due to reason I never found out, I waited so long to get it (not a normal occurrence).


      Kraze Burger is another famous burger restaurant in Korea.  Their decor and menu look almost the same as Burnham Burgers.  "They must be owned by the same company" I thought many times.

     I learned that more trains commuted from Yeongcheon to Dongdaegu station each day that from Yeongcheon to Daegu station.  And, I learned that more transfers (to other trains) were available at Dongdaegu station.  One day, I walked from one to the other.  At a moderate pace, it too me one hour.  There was no difference in fare for getting to one or the other from Yeongcheon, so sometimes although I bought a ticket for Dongdaegu station, I would stay on the train for another couple minutes and go on to Daegu station where I would be closer to the coffee shops and restaurants I enjoyed so much.






      Pohang is only an hour away from Yeongcheon.  When I went there for my first time on my own, my game plan was like when I went to Daegu: get there, walk around, and don't miss the last train going home.











     One day, without a plan and on the spur of a moment, I decided to visit Busan.  It was my first time on my own.  Since it was my first time, I decided to stay only about half a day.  Since it was so close to home, I could return on another day.



















 

    When I was finished walking around in Busan, I headed back to Daegu for a burger and some coffee and dessert.
