Summary

The Amateur Traveler talks to Rease from 2 Nomads, 1 Narrative about South Korea. Rease and his girlfriend Nicki taught English for a year in Southern South Korea and also took time t travel around the country. We start in the city of Busan which also called Pusan and the only part of South Korea not to fall to the North in the Korean Conflict. Rease recommends we see Busan fish market and some of the old temples and then move on from Korea’s second largest city to the ancient capital of Gyeongju. Gyeongju is over 2000 years old and includes ancient temples and burial tombs and also has the largest of the Buddist temples in the country. Then Rease recommends we move along to some of the beaches, seaside towns and islands on the south coast which most western tourists don’t visit. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good
0:08.0	in my passport photo. Amateur Traveler episode 286.
0:14.0	Today the Amateur Traveler talks about ancient cities and temples and food culture as we go to southern South Korea. Welcome to the
0:23.0	I got the city one more cafe.
0:25.0	I know that I should be heading home,

0:49.7	where to draw the line.
0:51.7	First let's start with Spirit Airline who has sparked a new controversy
0:54.5	because they've used mobile female strippers to promote their new service to Las Vegas.
1:00.5	They have stripper-mobiles featuring bikini-clad pole dancing women on a back of a moving truck who are being driven around Los Angeles with the words, I'll go both ways for $18.
1:11.0	Some people find that offensive.
1:13.4	Speaking of offensive, Virgin Airlines had a little bit of a screw-up because someone decided
1:19.3	to wake up portions of the airplane crew thinking they were going to send a message just to their
1:25.4	private TV screen and accidentally woke up the entire plane with get up you
1:30.2	blankety blanks. Some people found that offensive. Versus Delta, which has taken an entire
1:35.7	different approach. A Delta passenger was complaining about a delay and happened to drop the
1:41.8	F-bomb and was promptly kicked off a flight.
1:45.4	So I hope those three stories clarify for you how you should behave on planes.
1:49.8	Links to all three of those stories can be found in the show notes at amateur traveler.com.
