Busan, S. Korea

I must apologize for the hiatus in the update of this site. I took some well-deserved vacation. One of the last places I visited on my trips was Busan, South Korea, to see some friends.

Aunque leyendo esta introducción, puede parecerselo no tiene nada que ver a primera vista con Yokohama, realmente realmente es el contrario. When I lived in Busan a few years ago, little did I know that Busan and Yokohama had been partner cities since 2006. Their main fields of cooperation are exchange among citizen, tourism, climate change mitigation and urban planning. The cities also worked hand in hand during APEC 2010 in Yokohama.

Busan, with its 3.6 million people, is the second biggest city in South Korea. Es el puerto del recipiente más grande en Corea del Sur, mientras alineando 5 entre los puertos mayores del mundo con más de 14 millones de TEU en 2010.almost 75% de todo el throughput del recipiente en Corea del Sur – un crecimiento de 18.2% comparó con 2009. In the last 10 years, Busan has seen an average of 12,700 vessels enter its port annually.

Veamos las similitudes entre Busan y Yokohama.
Population: check.
Container port: check.
Port international passenger terminal: check.
Center for international conventions: check.
APEC host city: check.
Baseball stadium: check.
30 minutes from an international airport: check.
Of course, there are also many differences between Busan and Yokohama, but I am rather amazed their similarity.

I know South Korea is hardly synonymous with coffee, but for me, Busan is the only place in the world (outside of Montreal) where I was able to find a nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee. ¡E iba todos los días cuando viví allí! Vienes, Yokohama! Muéstrame lo que tienes en el departamento de café!
