After going to church in Busan and having lunch together with the other church members, I decided I wanted to walk around somewhere nice. It was such a beautiful day. I hadn't experienced such a sunny, warm, inviting day in long a while.
Conveniently for me, I happened to be a few blocks from the UN Memorial Cemetery. Sure, it's not the happiest place in Busan. However, I was told it was pleasant and scenic. "Pleasant and scenic" was just what I wanted for a day like that.
I took a ton of pictures, and I'll try to not inundate this page too much (too much).

Sadly, one of many.
