[Busan] Taejongdae!

Posted on by Jamie Liew

if you ask me which is a place you should not miss in Busan, I would 100% recommend Taejongdae (unless it rains for your whole trip then sucks to be you. =P.)

to come here, you must.. take the bus. it isn’t that hard. you can take a bus straight from Busan Station. I forgot the number of the bus but it is written at the Bus Station just remember to have your T-Money filled before you get to Busan (because T-Money is usable there, just a little harder to find place to recharge it.) Busan have their own railway so they have their own T-Money alike thingy there too. if you buy that on the spot there then yes you may recharge your pass whenever you want.

[Busan] Jagalchi Market

Posted on by Jamie Liew

finally, my post for this famous market in Busan. it’s open air, very neat and there are a lot of restaurants. lesser foreigners than expected but a lot of old people pushing everyone around while dragging their trolleys around.

this is right behind the Market, the Busan view from here was magnificent. I love how the houses are so close to each other all over the mountain. =3. Continue reading “[Busan] Jagalchi Market” →

[Jeonju] of Jeonju and yogurutu

Posted on by Jamie Liew

I am a little crazy, you can say. because I went back to Jeonju in a month. well, I took full advantage of my privilege as a foreigner because it’s only until end of this year foreigners can travel here for free =S. the last time I came here, I had awesome Galbitang but this time I came here for it’s famous Jeonju Bibimbap. the next time? Ddeok Galbi FOR SURE.

but there’s something more. the yoghurt (they call it the yogurutu). I don’t know how can I put this, but it’s the best yoghurt I’ve ever had. a huge bottle for 4,000won. it was pretty expensive to me at first but after I tried it, I can assure you that it’s a steal!

I am preeeeeeeeetty busy these days, with my presentation and all, but I’m done with it now, so wait up for more of my Jeonju and Busan posts!

[Busan] Songdo 부산 성도해수욕장

Posted on by Jamie Liew

when you ask anybody who had been to Busan (and they will say they loved it) about where to go, the first few places they will recommend are Haeundae or Gwangalli (which I love tooooo.) but they always neglect the smaller, least popular beach. but of course, because it is least popular, that’s why you should come here. and it is Songdo.

Songdo’s Beach is listed as one of the tourist spots but because you can only reach this place by a bus or taxi, many foreigners chose to avoid the trouble and just go to the huge popular beaches.

my first glimpse of Songdo. it was a very sunny day. got much tanner because it was so awesome here I was under the sun for an hour without sunblock. and there are whales and other sculptures put right in the middle of the sea which makes it cooler! Continue reading “[Busan] Songdo 부산 성도해수욕장” →

[Busan] pork soup rice 돼지국밥 (dweji kuk bab)

Posted on by Jamie Liew

have been thinking for a while for the title but I ended up with this embarrassing title which is the direct translation of the Korean name. it’s basically pork with rice in soup.

IMG_4894 copy

it’s a famous Busan delicacy but I have no idea why this 24 hour shop is named as Gyeongju Kuk Bab ( Gyeongju’s rice in soup) Continue reading “[Busan] pork soup rice 돼지국밥 (dweji kuk bab)” →
