Back to Ulsan

For the first time since December 2009 I made a trip down to Ulsan to visit Paul and see my old neighbourhood. To say Paul is in the same neighbourhood is an understatement, he lives right around the corner from where I lived that first year. We hit up the first Makgeolli place I ever went to and then the WaBar patio, where I coincidentally first met Paul WAAAAY back in fall 2008 when I first arrived. That WaBar was actually my first drinking hole, so it was cool to be back. In some ways it seems like a lifetime ago that I was living in Ulsan, and to be honest it hasn't changed all that much. It was a neat first year, where I met some great people, but to be honest going back it felt like a small town and I think I was so lucky to have met so many amazing people because at heart I am a big city person (I find Daegu quite small) and I'm not sure how I did a full year there :P.. That being said I did enjoy it a lot and do want to go back to visit again soon. Also, with the new KTX line to Ulsan and the 5004 bus running direct to Ulsan University I can get there in an hour now from my front door (it takes me longer to get to parts of east Daegu).
