9월14일 입이 트이는 영어 Traveling on the KTX

Talk about a time when you went on the KTX.


Korea's bullet train, the KTX, was launched in 2004. I go on business trips often using the KTX. On my last trip, I traveled to Busan. I was able to book tickets through an app. The app is very user-friendly. You can choose your departure time and even you seat. the app even gives you a digital ticket. so you don't need to print one out. I mulled over whether to get an ordinary seat or a first-class seat. I went for an ordinary seat because the trip wasn't too long. There was even free Wi-Fi, so the trip went by in a flash. Just two and a half hours after departing from Seoul, I arrived at Busan Station.
