대구 Daegu

With rain drizzling down, we departed our hostel to catch a bus to 대구. 

We came to 대구 to meet with Kevin's high school friend who is stationed at the US army base here. We spent the day with Scott and three of his army friends. Kevin and I didn't get to explore 대구 like we originally planned because the logistics of matching the desires of kids in the army, but it was a good experience nevertheless in learning about military culture. One thing I learned, I would not fit into army culture. 

Cherry blossoms were in full bloom through the whole city. 

 The third biggest city in Korea. The city had characteristics similar to Seoul, but deserted lots and older buildings served as reminders that this is indeed the third place city.

The engineer in Kevin wanted to experience KTX so we bought a 2 hour ride back to Seoul.
