Busan




What do you do when you're in Korea and find out you have 11 days off? Well, you have a few options. Quick flights to Tokyo, Beijing, or the beaches of Thailand are generally affordable. I was on a budget so Tokyo was out, didn't plan ahead and get a visa for China, and unfortunately couldn't find a reasonable flight to Thailand. Or, you can stay in Korea. So, I went to Busan!

We stayed in Hyunadae, ate brunch on the beach, strolled down the cherry blossomed cliff road, went to the Jalgachi fish market, and visited Shinsegae, the largest department store in the world. Since Nami majored in tourism, it was a pretty stress free trip. The hardest part was probably deciding what we wanted to eat. So we had a little bit of everything: mystery street food, Mexican, Korean, and of course ice cream. It was a good thing I was coming off of a 50+ mile week!
