We made it to Busan, South Korea on July 26.
|
Country #14 |
Since we arrived a bit late that evening, we didn't start exploring until July 27.
|
Busan Station |
|
In front of the fountain at Busan Station |
|
We went to Chinatown since it was the area for foreigners to shop |
|
There weren't a lot of Chinese shops - mostly Russian and Korean |
|
But walking around was still interesting |
|
We walked by the famous 40 steps |
|
The 40 step stairway was a place for locals to gather during the Korean War |
|
The 40 step staircase has now come to symbolize the sorrow and grief of those living during the Korean War |
|
Paul was impressed with this statue |
|
We decided to take the steep stairs to the Busan Tower and Yongdusan Park |
|
The Busan Tower |
|
This is the view of Yongdusan Park from the base of the Busan Tower |

|
This park is known for being a romantic spot for couples; hence these heart lockets with love messages written on them |
|
Keeping with the romantic theme, we posed in front of these love turtles |
|
Yongdu means dragon...and this is Yongdusan Park |
|
Statue of Yi Sun-Shin a 16th century naval hero |
|

After strolling through the romantic park, we headed to Gwangbok-ro.
|
Pretty lanterns |
|
Gwangbok-ro where there are plenty of shops |
|
And statues for Paul to play with |
|
And kick... |
|
This bull was not happy |
Next stop was the Jagalchi Fish Market.
|
Old buildings on the way to the market |
|
Jagalchi Fish Market was very interesting |
|
You could buy all sorts of sea creatures |
|
Including the spoon worm - check out a video of them moving |
|
We headed back to Gwangbok-ro to find some dinner |
The next day on July 28, we headed to Taejongdae Park. Surprise, surprise, the weather turned out to be similar to when we visited Mt. Fuji...foggy and overcast. So, we didn't get a great view. This is beginning to become a pattern (you'll see in future posts). And, the worst part was that it was not just foggy but hot and muggy too!
|
At least we could see some of the cliffs and the water |
|
Yes, that is fog behind us |
|
We heard it's supposed to be really pretty |
|
The Yeongdo lighthouse and infamous art of overlapping circles - the red circle symbolizes the sun, camellia flower, universe, five oceans and six continents while the blue circle symbolizes the sky and sea |
|
The bar in the middle symbolizes the light from the lighthouse |
|
Asian Paul |
|
It was too hot to go all the way down to the rocks |
|
But it wasn't too hot for Paul to ride this wild seahorse |
|
It felt like a scene in a movie... |
|
As we walked towards Taejongsa Temple |
