Hanaro and Mybi

I am obsessed I will admit it. A weekend that was unfortunately too short lived is almost over. 


It started with a drinking fiasco with my friend Dell up in Dalmaji hill late friday night. Saturday was resting and entertaining my wifes' friends ( I went to Nampo-dong from my home twice by Subway its a 35 minute commute each way. 




Today we decided to go to PNU (Pusan National University). Each time I go out whether its to work or around the streets of Busan I look around for coins, mybi cards etc. Last night I had a dream that I had found the ever so elusive Mybi card. Today while walking in PNU I happened to spot a beautiful star shaped Hanaro Card. This is the same as a mybi card... I even get a bigger discount because the fare price is 770 won instead of 990 won. I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this today.
The amount that was found on the card was 14,000 won which is similar to finding $14. 


After finding this my wife and I treated ourselves to some pajeon and rice wine. (Makoli)
This was a tasty snack and it took us into the mountainous area of PNU.  We sat at the track watching a soccer game until we got tired of it, eventually walking all the way to Oncheonjang and going to Home Plus. 


I think these traveling cards are quite useful for us. The joy of finding one isn't about the money which may be a lot but the uses I can do with them. For example, vending machine coffee. Today we bought some tea using the new card. the uses of these cards are endless. 


1. Subway or Bus transportation. 
2. transfer
3. Vending machine coffee
4. Taxi ride
5. Toll gate pay
6. convenience store purchasing
7. Parking permits. 
8. Vending machine for books, snacks, etc. 
9.
10.




I can't think of the other uses yet but I will give me some time. 


After spending the better part of the day outside we relaxed back at the ole fort, watching pretender, playing gostop and just waiting with a new promise for tomorrow.
