Gyeongsangnam-do Day 5. Busan.

21 Aug

Oh yes, there is a day 5. Nope, no drunk, no hangover. But…

Went out with Kim Oppa and Greg. Igidae Park. Awesome, one more day well spent in Busan.

This park will seriously be in my top 10 recommendation in Korea. It is an almost 2 hours walking trail along the beach.

My 2 Oppa!

Lovely, isn’t it? 😉

Superman Kim Oppa!

So we actually went home late and I decided not to go Gwangju.

I seriously love Busan,
Ashley.

Gyeongsangnam-do Day 4. Busan.

20 Aug

Annyeong Busan!

Once again, today I went to a place I really like and enjoyed my time over there. Highly recommend this place! This is not so popular among tourist though. Stayed there for around 4 hours, only get to see a few elderly. So if you like to have a quiet and peaceful walk, do visit here.

 

Beginning my hike up Dongnae Eupseong Fortress! I really love this place!

Up next, Taegeukdo Village! This is actually a place where poorer residents stay. However it is open to public from 9:00am to 6:00pm.

They have this thing which cost W1,000. Walk the destination route and get the boxes stamp, you will get 2 postcards thereafter. Quite something to earn money. 😉

Run according to the arrows!

My little model!

Tonight will be the last night in Busan. I really don’t wish to leave Busan, especially Kim’s house in Busan. 😦

Went supper and drinking with guesthouse owners and mates. Soju, ahhh~ too strong! Koreans, really LOVE to drink. Back to guesthouse, had a great night with guesthouse hosts and mates. Talked till 3am? How am I going to check-out tomorrow morning…?

Tomorrow shall worry about itself,
Ashley.

Gyeongsangnam-do Day 3. Busan.

19 Aug

I really love Busan! In fact I like here more than Seoul. Lots of yummy food in Busan too! 😉

Good weather today! Furthermore I am no longer afraid of the sun because I don’t think I can be anymore tanner. So, once again, let’s go to the beach!

Haeundae Beach. Korea beach always full of umbrella!

Actually I didn’t stay in the beach. It was way too hot to stay there. Furthermore, there is something else that attracts me more…

Busan aquarium!

Very cute penguins and I hear all the kids keep repeating penguin annyeong penguin annyeong!

 

This aquarium is actually smaller than what i expected. But it’s okay, I had a great time there. 😉

After aquarium, I decided to go Shinsegae Centum City which claims to be the largest department store in the world. Looking at my map, it’s seem very near from where I am. Therefore I decided to walk my way there, however after 2.5 hours of walking round and round and round, seeing the same shops over and over again, I can’t seem to locate Shinsegae. Dying from hunger and heat stroke, I decided to look it up over to internet. Damn, it’s not near, AT ALL. I need to take subway, it’s like 3 stations away.

Finally, the shopping mall which almost killed me.

At the rooftop of Shinsegae.

After Shinsegae, I headed to Gwangalli Beach, over there I will be near to beautiful Busan Gwangandaegyo Bridge.

Surprisingly there is an outdoor party going on that night.

The beautiful bridge.

Really a nice and relaxing day, minus the getting lost part. 😉

Back to guesthouse and talked till midnight with room mates. Two China exchange student and one Japanese girl. Simple English, translating Mandarin, I love talking to foreigners. You will actually get to hear and learn a lot!

Goodnight my lovely room mates,
Ashley.
