*That date of 2nd November was ALSO the exact same date I would leave Korea a year before [2024].
This visit to Daegu marked Jay's second visit - his first being about 12 years ago [2013...?] - and just like the last one it's a rather short visit, albeit managing to do quite a lot over 3 days / nights... and these things include:
- Visiting the Daegu metro memorial
- Visiting the Daegu Arts Centre
- Meals with friends / artists
- A little sight-seeing
- The KTX train there, and back (always a great experience in Korea)
- 'Daefrica'
- Spotting an actual rollercoaster... soon after using the phrase, "rollercoaster"
- Safety park elsewhere in Daegu, related to or started due to the Metro Disaster in 2003.
- My hotel - will cover later on
- Being approached by a well-known church group
Jay also touches on the reasons for being in Korea on this particular trip, and indeed it being his 12th time in South Korea! Yes, this includes mention of his feature documentary [SEWOL: Sealed Eternally With Our Love] having its Korean Premiere in Seoul, at the lovely "Seoul Whistler Film Festival".
