DAMA IN DAEJEON

It started with my bucket wish list that needed to be checked. Riding a bullet train has always been a lifelong dream. This should have been checked in 2010 courtesy of Shinkansen (japan express rail) but I just couldn't justify the p100k expense.

So the KTX opportunity came during our latest trip. Originally, the plan was to exit Sokor through Busan. But the travel time was longer, fare was more expensive and not much to see in Busan (compared to Seoul) so we settled with Daejeon. There was not much to see either in Daejeon but fare was cheaper.

So we were in Daejon in day 3 of our tour. The ride from Seoul to Daejeon was abt 1 hour with speeds reaching 305 kph. As expected, there was not much to see in Daejeon so we settled with Hanbat Museum of Education. It was a memorable experience though since I had a chance to play dama (checkers) with B5. After 3 games and almost 2 hours, the score was tied 1 – 1 with the 3^rd game going to a draw.

We would do that trip and adventure anytime again.
