Expat life is not easy. Not only does one has to put in an extra effort to find the right fit and adapt to the new culture, but one also kind of gets detached from traditions of home. But the Indian diaspora in Korea does try really hard to keep in close touch with the traditions back home.
And it is that quest that brings us here to Busan...
Holi, the Indian spring festival of colours was celebrated a few days back on the 24th of March, back home in India. But the Indian community has organised Holi festivities in Busan - Indians from all over Korea make their way to Haeundae Beach of Busan to celebrate and join in on the festivities...
And so this morning, we headed from Songdo to Inchean Airport from where we caught the high speed KTX train to head to Busan, a journey that took us 3.5 hours approximately.
And we were overjoyed to see the cherry blossoms welcoming us as we got into Busan city...
Walking towards our hotel on Haeundae Beach, the road, Gunam-ro, was lined up with colourful shops and restaurants giving the place a very touristy feel...
Cherry blossoms all the way...
Finally in our hotel room overlooking the Haeundae Beach...
But it isn't a clear day today...
But we have the whole day ahead of us to explore Busan...
A view of downtown Busan...
