Potato in Seoul - 4 Hours in Daegu/대구

Mountainous view on the way to Daegu/대구
Just last week, I left Seoul for the first time since I arrived almost four months ago. Three friends and I took the bus from Seoul to one of South Korea's other cities on a one-day trip. Actually, we missed our first bus and had to change our tickets to a bus that left 45 minutes after our original bus. After paying to switch tickets, we were off. It's only about a 4 hour bus ride from the Express Bus Terminal to Daegu's main  bus terminal.


 The views on the way to Daegu are quite stunning. So many mountains and giant hills. It's all so green. Escaping the city once in a while is always good, even for a city-lover like myself. The peacefulness of rural South Korea is peaceful and calming. Watching rice fields pass by and the small towns reminded me a bit of road trips at home: passing all those corn fields and the 1000 people towns.
