After I heard that there were discounts for foreigners who lived in South Korea for Yeosu Expo until July 28, 2012 from my teacher(See detail
click). I didn't feel any hesitates to go there anymore.
After I knew it, I started to find friends to go travel with me. After that, I bought tickets from Korail(Korea train) via smartphone application. We also can buy tickets from
Korail website. The tickets look like as follows:
I had to go to Seo-Daejeon Station and take a train to Yeosu Expo. I went to Yeosu Expo on July 27, 2012. The train left the Seo-Daejeon station at 8:30am. Let's talk about trains in South Korea. Here, they provides 3 classes of trains to serve their customers. The first class train is called "KTX." It is the fastest train in Korea and its highest speed is 350 km/hr. It is the most expensive ticket. The second class train is called Saemaul(새마을). It is cheaper than KTX. The third class train is called Mugunhwa(무궁화). Saemaul train's speed is not that different from Mugunhwa's but Saemaul's seat is much more comfortable than Mugunhwa's seat.
The train prices from Yongsan station(in Seoul) to Yeosu Expo and Seo-Daejeon station(in Deajeon) to Yeosu Expo and the prices between weekday and weekend.

On July 27, 2012, I and my friend went to Seo-Daejeon Station and we found one building that was hit on me.
It is this building. It is beside the train station. Can you guess what it is? I have a hint in the next picture..
That's correct!! It's the parking building for bicycles. You may saw this before but it was my first time to see this. Maybe I saw this kind of building before but I never realized what it is..haha...
We went there around 20 minutes early, so we had to wait a bit.
In the waiting area in Train station...
In the platform......
The train was coming... wow ..finally, let's go to Yeosu Expo :D
After we sat in the train for 3 hours, finally, we reached Yeosu Expo Station..
Wow.... there were so many people... ><"
We went out from station and we saw this tower. We could see the whole Yeosu Expo area from this tower.
