Trip to Busan

Last Thursday and Friday we travelled with the KTX (Korean Train Express) to the South-East coast to Busan, Korea’s second largest city with its ten million inhabitants. The city is beautifully situated between mountains and the ocean. Of cause both Anders and I agreed with this scenery having lived the largest part of our lives in coastal cities. Anders and the Swedish Alternate were invited to see the Navy base and met with the fleet commander. They were briefed and visited ROKN newest Aegis Destroyer.
On Friday we paid our respect to the Fallen of UN Forces in the Korean War at the Memorial Cemetery.

WALL OF REMEMBRANCE



It was very emotional to see all the thousands of names of young people from so many nations that sacrificed their lives. The way Korea honors them and their families is breathtaking.
