I did not post this the day it happened. I did not want anyone to worry about us more than they already do while we were away. After we arrived in Busan and checked in at the Novotel Hotel, we went for a walk about to see the area. Off the back of the hotel is the beach. We immediately noticed a large police presence, all in riot gear. We stopped at the tourist information office to get maps and brochures for the area. When asked about the police they said they were expecting a large demonstration. So far it didn't seem like anything was happening.
We went to see a nearby traditional market street, bought some snacks and headed back to the hotel. As we came around the corner of the building, headed for the front of the hotel we walked into this scene:
We then made our way around to the back of the hotel to go to our rooms. Jennifer's room was on the front of the building. We watched the scene from there.
Here's the story about the
protests in Busan.
