Train to Busan – Culture

Korean Culture

It turns out, everyone seems to have an opinion about K-pop and Korean movies.  Since I was going to ride the train from Busan to Seoul, my local Korean friends insisted that I watch the movie “Train to Busan”, the night before I took the train.  This was a Korean Zombie movie,  on the train almost everyone turns into a zombie and dies by the end of the movie. This was filmed or based on the aactual KTX-the high speed train I was riding the next day. There were no English subtitles, but the movie was graphic enough, where they were not needed.  When watching the movie, I was surprised that there was such long tunnels. IT turns out the tunnels are really that long! Clearly, after watching this Movie, I did not sleep on the train ride to Seoul.
