Here's how you get from the KOPEC apartments to Baeksunam Elementary School. This entry shows catching the bus near the KOPEC apartment and then some landmarks starting about 200 yards past Baeksusuh Elementary School. To see the entire route check out the entries titled 'The bus to Baeksu Middle School & Elementary' and then 'Bus to Baeksusuh Elementary School'.
Leaving KOPEC heading to the street.
Turn right when you get to the street.
When you get to these banners, make a right and walk up hill.
Here's the view after you turn right.
I stand in front of the brown sign to wave down the bus. You really do need to wave or the driver will go right by you. I stand here, about 80 yards up from the light so that I'm in the driver's line of sight after he goes through the intersection.
Here's the view looking back as the bus comes through the intersection.
The Baeksu bus route is noted on the 4th card from the left in the bus window.
Here's how small the cards are from even a few feet away. Basically you need to know the bus schedule and be on time because you can't read these cards from a distance.
This is just after you pass Baeksusuh Elementary School.
A little further down the road.
You'll see this factory on the righthand side near the sign you see above.
At the top of the hill you'll pass this restaurant on your left.
A bus stop you pass on your left about 400 yards before the canal.
About 15 minutes after you get on the bus near KOPEC you'll come to this irrigation canal. There is a stop here, just over the bridge. You get off two stops after this one.
A picture of the buildings on your right after you cross the irrigation canal.
The bus stop by the irrigation canal. From here it's about a 20-minute walk to school.
This is the next bus stop you come to after the irrigation canal. This one is on the left hand side. You can see it to the far right of the house.
The same bus stop as above. Notice the old shade tree behind the stone monument. When you pass this stop you should get your money ready and start moving to the front of the bus.
The road when you're about 250 yards from the stop you want.
The bus makes a left here towards Yeomsan. I press the stop button when I can see this sign.
The stop buttons are positions all over the bus including some on the ceiling.
As you approach the sign pictured above you can see the bus stop off to the left.
This was taken standing in front of the bus stop looking back toward the main road.
The bus turns left here and stops near the white pick-up truck.
Looking back at the bus stop from the point where I step off the bus. When you head home after school you stand where this man is standing.
Looking down the road towards school from in front of the bus stop (as if the man in the picture above turned to his left).

The school is down the small road you see on the left.

Keeping walking.

Keeping walking. To the right of this pick-up truck is a small convenience store.
This is a small NongHyup bank across from the convenience store. Make sure the school gets you a NongHyup account because this ATM here is very convenient and all of their ATMs have an English menu.
The school is just past the small white van (to the left).
The cinder block structure to the left is actually the garage where the principal parks his car. He lives in a small house just off the school grounds.
The garage is on the left, the school is in the distance through the gate.
