Where am I?

Geography time! Let's take a look at where I am.
First, I currently reside on the continent of Asia. I've circled the location of my city.


Here's a more close up picture of the Country. I've kept the labels on just in case you aren't familiar with the city layout of Korea. Once again, my city is circled.


Here's a nice shot of the topography of the area. Most of the country is mountains.


This is the city of Busan. 3.6 Million people live here. It's the 3rd most visited sea port in the world. The big red circle is the island on which I live. The whole island is really just two giant mountains.


A closer look at the island. In the circle is the Dongsam district where I do most of my snooping.


The top right circle is the location of Dongsam Middle School where I work. The other one is the apartment building that I live in. It's right along the course and it's gorgeous. It's in the middle of no where on an island of 400,000, but it's so majestic.


That's the uphill climb that I have to take to school everday. I'm used to it now, but just to get to the little spot in between those first two buildings, it's about a 14 story climb including lots of stairs and a graded slope. The route to school is colorful and has some great views. I'll post some pictures of the route sometime.


Thanks for the lesson. There'll be a quiz later.
