      Day 58, Busan is Truly Beautiful

      6 Nisan 2023, Güney Kore ⋅ 🌬 59 °F

      I had never even heard of Busan 🤦🏻‍♀️ before we started thinking about Japan and South Korea. But it is a magnificent city with a setting similar to Rio - mountains bordering the sea. Mixture of modern high rises and narrow streets lined with food stalls and shops. Population of 3.4 million and the 6th busiest port in the world. ⛴️ Only an hour flight from Jeju but a whole other world. We spent the day touring with our guide Cooper and I’m loving it.Okumaya devam et

      🇯🇵✈️🇰🇷+Haeundae Beach/Spaland - D10

      19 Eylül 2023, Güney Kore ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Today marks the start our trip to South Korea, specifically Busan! 🎉
      Our flight to Busan was quite early, so we had to arrive at the airport around 8:30-9am. Yebin was not 100% but on the road to recovery! ❤️ We got to Narita airport with all our big luggages and checked in! Sadly Maya, Farheen and myself were slightly over the max limit of free checked luggage so we had to pay a small fee. 😅 Our flight was on time and not long at all (about 2 hours). We finally landed in Busan and made it through customs quicker than expected! Since we had a lot of luggage and we didn’t want to go through the trouble of lugging it on the public transit, we decided to take a taxi. Luckily in Korea, Yebin and Jen were with us, so they could speak Korean to the locals. We found a driver of a minivan who offered to take us for ~$40 CAD (40,000 won). But Jen said he had a bit of a sketchy vibe to him… 🙃 Luckily nothing happened and we got to our hotel in one piece!
      We checked in and went up to our rooms! Maya and I shared one room, Jen, Farheen and Yebin shared the other room. The view was quite nice, you could see the buildings with a mountain at the back!
      One thing we noticed when arriving was that we seemed to have chosen a hotel right near the market, so there were a lot of elderly people walking on the streets. The smell in the air was very similar to Asian markets I’ve been to, but Maya was quite sensitive to this smell haha. 😅 On the bright side, there were plenty of pharmacies around, so Yebin and Farheen visited one of them to see if they could find some products to help them! Another bonus was that there was a convenience store on the first floor of our building so we’d always frequent that! Yebin decided to stay at the hotel for the day so Jen and Farheen went to grab her some rice porridge. We also had a Starbucks as well, so Maya and I went there to wait for the two ladies! 😄 I think I got either a Youthberry tea or Yuja tea (I can’t quite remember haha) 😅 Maya got some sort of iced coffee latte. We both thought our drinks were quite sweet. We met up with Farheen (who also got a drink at Starbucks) and Jen. We decided to chill at the hotel a bit before we left to the Haeundae Beach. When we were ready, we took the subway (which was about 45 mins) to the beach and it was so pretty!! It was a bit cloudy that day so sadly not many sunset pics. But we did get a few good pics there! We even made a fun little video (which I won’t be posting here haha). 😂
      Around 6:30pm, we left to go to Spa Land. This is a huge indoor spa with a bath, several saunas and foot baths! It’s located in the Shinsege mall in Centum City. We arrived at the mall and looked around for a bit but went to the spa quickly as they close at 10pm. We arrived, paid a small fee and entered the spa to change! It gave similar vibes to Go Place in Markham but a lot bigger and nicer 🥰 We explored the place a bit but wanted to eat as the main restaurant closed at 8pm. They also had a ramen bar which had so many different ramen packs! Farheen really wanted to try it so she stayed to eat ramen while us 3 went to the restaurant. Maya and I both ordered jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and it came with fried dumplings. Jen was craving something spicy ever since she was in Japan so she ordered Dak galbi (spicy stir fryer chicken). We all also ordered beer! I tried Terra beer (cause I always see it on kdramas) 😂 and both Maya and Jen ordered Kloud beer! 🍻
      After dinner, Maya and Jen wanted to check out the bath. The bath was separated between females and males so you had to strip down to enter. Farheen and I opted to just explore the spa’s many features! We first walked around and found a cute photo booth. For 5 won, we got 4 photo booth strips! It was so fun! 🥸We walked around more, found a facial/massage area but it was closed and the staff had left for the day. There was a movie room, as well as a relaxation room where you can lie on these big chairs and have individual TV’s in front of you. There were also large massage chairs in the hall area, so Farheen and I paid 3 won for a 15 min massage! Let me tell you, it was well worth it! After all the walking we did in Japan, the massage chair felt so nice! 💆🏻‍♀️
      After the massage, we walked around the ground floor and found an outdoor foot bath area. There were several shallow pools of different temperatures where you can sit and rest your feet in or just walk through. It was very relaxing and quite therapeutic since the ground was all cobblestones so definitely good for the circulation! 😂
      It was near closing time, but we saw that the spa had so many sauna rooms. We quickly went into almost all of them (literally walked in, sat for a few mins, then left 🤣) We were having too much fun here!
      We finally met up with Jen and Maya, who both mentioned the bath was really relaxing as well!
      We all took the transit back to our hotel and had probably the best sleep we’ve had during our whole trip so far! 😴

      Gamcheon Village & Gukje Market - Day 11

      20 Eylül 2023, Güney Kore ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

      Our one full day in Busan was well spent! Yebin was finally feeling better so she joined us on our adventures today! We started off pretty early, heading towards Gamcheon village! We took the subway, then a small bus (which was quite a ride since it was such a hilly area) 😂 We arrived and the views were amazing! I felt like I was watching a kdrama! All the multicoloured houses and buildings were so pretty! It was already quite busy since it was midday when we arrived, but we all managed to take some cute photos! ✌🏻
      We decided to go down to Gukjae market to look around and find a place to eat! It was really cool cause all these shops sold so many different types of things for relatively good prices, such as clothing items or kitchen utensils! My friends ended up buying a few socks for a good deal! 😄
      We finally settled on a spot to eat, it was a local noodle shop that was all fish based! Plus everything was so cheap! A bowl of rice noodles was only 6,000won (~$6 CAD)! We all got one, Farheen got udon noodles for the same price! We also shared some fish cakes and a pajeon (Korean green onion pancake)! Everything was so tasty, and it tasted so comforting as well, if that makes sense! 😌 After the satisfying meal, Yebin also told us the famous tteokbokki place in Busan is right in Gukjae market as well! We walked over to the stall and ordered a bowl! It was so delicious and chewy! It wasn’t as spicy as I had thought it would be, but it was more on the sweet side! We all really enjoyed it! 🤤
      After our tummies were full, Jen suggested we check out the Trick-eye museum not too far from the market. We walked over and bought tickets to go in! It was so funny and we took some pretty cool pics there! 🤣 We were craving a cafe, so Farheen found a good one (Yebin also had it on her list) called Caffeinated! It was such a cool cafe spot. Jen and I ordered an Iced Vanilla latte, Yebin got a fruit drink, Maya got an iced Americano, and Farheen ordered an affogato as well as this brownie with ice cream topped with cheese! It sounds weird but it actually tasted so good! 😍 The cafe was so cute as well and all the staff were so nice!
      In the evening, Yebin wanted to visit Spa Land so we all travelled back there together! We looked around the mall, Yebin, Maya and Farheen ordered a dessert to try! As Yebin left to go to the spa, Jen and Farheen were looking around the mall before they had to leave (to finish a school assignment) so Maya and I joined them. We found some cute souvenirs as well as a small Artbox (a famous stationery store in Korea). Jen and Farheen left so Maya and I stayed so Yebin wouldn’t have to go to the hotel on her own. Maya and I picked up a few breads from the bakery before they closed for dinner. 😋 We met up with Yebin and hopped on the subway back to our hotel! At this time I also realized I left my umbrella at the subway station, but we were already half way to our hotel so I didn’t go back… I was a bit sad 🥲🥲 We got off our station and got a few texts from Jen. She was looking at a pretty Busan cup from Starbucks when we first arrived, but didn’t buy it. She was looking for it again that day but a lot of the Starbucks were sold out of the cup! She was freaking out a little since she wanted to buy it for her parents. Since us three were still out, we went to one Starbucks near the station and luckily found the cup! She was so relieved! 😄 We picked up a quick extra few snacks from the convenience store before heading back to our hotel to sleep. 😴
      Overall Busan was a beautiful spot to travel! I wish we could have gone on a cable car ride (unfortunately the weather was rainy and cloudy our whole time in Busan 🥲). I also wish I could’ve tried some more seafood in Busan, especially their marinated crab. 🦀 Perhaps on my next trip back to Busan, I’ll be able to try them all! 😁I

      Buongiorno a Busan 🏙️

      22 Ekim 2023, Güney Kore ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Partenza di primo mattino da Seoul in direzione di Busan.
      Dopo un piacevole viaggio in treno arriviamo alla stazione centrale. Ci rechiamo alla ricerca di un taxi per raggiungere il nostro alloggio. Dopo aver fatto litigare tutta la centrale dei taxisti troviamo una buona anima che ci aiuta a prenderne uno 🤣.
      A Busan ci incontriamo con Linda e Denis allo Oryukdo Skywalk. In seguito a una pausa ristoro con te, biscotti e bevande coreane ci salutiamo e ripartiamo alla scoperta di Busan.
      Visitiamo la Spiaggia di Haeundae.
      L’idea era poi di raggiungere il Tempio Haedong Yonggungsa con delle capsule trenino, ma sono tutte SOLD OUT 🤷🏻‍♀️
      Il tempio è sul mare e la vista è suggestiva.
      In serata cerchiamo un ristorante dove mangiare noodles ma ovviamente quando cerchi qualcosa non lo trovi, pertanto entriamo nel primo ristorante che ci ispira. Il menu è unicamente in coreano e Google translate ci prova a dare il suo meglio.
      Ordiamo una pietanza a caso sotto consiglio del cameriere. Apriamo le danze con la prima fondue coreana .
      Terminata la cena, con una carenza di carboidrati decidiamo di cercare un Dunkin’ Donuts. Sfiga vuole che li troviamo tutti chiusi. Poor Sara 🥲 Ci si ripiega su un waffle ripieno di Oreo e panna a dir poco orripilante.
      Concludiamo la serata:
      - in un sexy shop
      - a un selfie store
      - in una sala giochi Pink
      - in discoteca ad ammirare il ballo del mattone Coreano.
      - l’offerta di un Host Club

      Buona notte 😘

      Küstenwanderung

      17 Mart, Güney Kore ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Nun geht’s ans Wandern, immer treppauf und treppab, über Wurzeln, Stock und Stein wandern wir über der Steilküste und an deren Rand. Der ältere Teil der Familie 😉 wandert alsbald zur Seilbahn zurück und wir zwei wandern weiter durch den Wald mit vielen schönen Ausblicken. Am Ende gibt es - man glaubt es kaum - zusätzlich zur tollen Aussicht auch noch ein voll funktionsfähiges Outdoor-Fitnessstudio 😳. Wer also nach den ganzen Auf- und Abstiegen noch nicht ausgelastet ist, kann sich jetzt noch den letzten Kick geben - oder was 🥵😜?? Macht aber keiner 🤣.
      Zum Glück gibt es auch noch ein tolles Amphitheater (Insider wissen hier Bescheid 😉) für unser Picknick 🧺 👍🏼.
      Auf dem Rückweg zur Seilbahnstation, diesmal ganz leicht zu begehen, finden wir noch weitere diverse Fitnessgeräte (alle ungenutzt 😂) sowie einige große, ganz große und riesengroße Hula Hoop Reifen, die auch nur eine Person 🤪 benutzt.
      An der Seilbahnstation sind wir wieder vereint und schweben ganz entspannt zurück über das Meer.

      Busan (Morning)

      3 Nisan, Güney Kore ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      We started our sightseeing day in a rainy Busan by going for a picturesque ride on the Sky Capsule. Unfortunately, the weather from Hakone caught up to us again and we were denied some beautiful views of the ocean. But no matter the weather, coffee and cake would be waiting.

      After warming up and drying out, we went to the somewhat harrowing Jagalchi Market - the biggest fresh seafood market in all of South Korea. They have the most baffling array of seafood and left us hungry - but for something vegetarian. 😂

      Wandering through BIFF square where the Busan International Film Festival takes place, we finally got to try some of the local tteokbokki: a sweet, spicy fermented chilli stew with squishy and bouncy rice cakes. Heaven!

      Busan und der Haeundae Market

      15 Nisan, Güney Kore ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Mit der Fähre ging es heute über das Japanischen Meer nach Busan.
      Die zweitgrößte Stadt Südkorea und die Drittgrößte auf unserer Tour.

      So wirklich herzlich hat uns die Stadt leider nicht begrüßt und so kamen wir nach 3 Stunden kompett Nass im Hotel am anderen Ende von Busan an.

      Der Regen hat angehalten aber den bekannten Food Market haben wir uns natürlich trotzdem nicht entgehen lassen.

      Und zum Ende des Tages hat uns die Stadt doch noch mit einem wundervollen Ausblick belohnt.

      Busan is good

      13 Mayıs, Güney Kore ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      "Busan is good" - Mit dem Stadtslogan lehnt sich die koreanische Hafenmetropole ganz schön aus dem Fenster. Nach drei Tagen können wir uns dieser Ansage allerdings anschließen. Busan hat alles, was man braucht, um glücklich zu sein: Einen schönen Stadtstrand (Haeundae Beach), den Lennart zum Anbaden nutzte und von dessen Nachbarstrand man in den Abendstunden die Lichtshow an der imposanten Brücke genießen konnte.

      Auch in der Natur, koreatypisch sehr hügelig und grünbewaldet ist man sehr schnell. Nachdem wir mit dem Bus an Busans Stadtrand gefahren waren, erklommen wir einen kleinen Berg, um einen tollen Ausblick über die Stadt und die Weite des Meeres zu genießen. Kultur gibt es in Gamcheon, einem Künstlerdorf, das durch liebevoll gestaltete Häuser auffällt.

      Viele Märkte und Angebote in der Innenstadt sorgen dafür, dass es einem nicht langweilig wird. Besonders skurill fanden wir hierbei die zahlreichen Selfie-Studios, in denen man sich selbst ablichten kann. Auch die Omnipräsenz von Schönheitskliniken, an jeder Straßenecke war für uns erstmal ungewohnt. Mal sehen, ob ihr in den nächsten Fotoserien irgendwelche Veränderungen an uns erkennen könnt.

    • Trip to Busan

      26 Ağustos 2022, Güney Kore ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      The first days of our 4 months in Korea we spent in Busan, a beautiful city in the South. Unfortunately, we were haunted by a really bad jetlag, so we also used the time to get used to the country, the time difference and settle in a little bit.
      We were lucky that we got some tips beforehand on how to get around in Korea without speaking Korean and there was Wifi almost everywhere - so we even managed to spend the time here without a korean Sim-Card.

      Busan has a beautiful beach and our hotel room was right next to it, but unlike you would think we did not go to the beach although it was 30-35°. Why? Because we were simply not brave enough. Koreans do not wear bikinis or swimsuits, they go swimming fully clothed with normal clothes or even full-body swimsuits. We haven´t figured out completly why, but for sure because they don´t wanna get tanned and also because they are really conservative and do not show much skin. So we didn't dare go to the beach in our bikinis also because we got stared at so much anyway without being half-naked.

      We got the chance to visit Gamcheon Culture Village - a place full of colored houses and a lot of history. Gamcheon developed from a poor village to a cultural hotspot not so long ago in the early 2000s. Now it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Busan, but not crowded at all and really nice to walk through. You can still see that it developed from poor circumstances, but it is truly awesome to experience. The village is also dedicated to the post-war time and contains a "house of peace" where people can write their wishes - mainly about the north and south korea issues - on the walls. Reading all those wishes for Korea from people around the world was truly amazing. This was definitley a highlight for us.

      The first days in Korea were more about realizing how big of a chance we have to be here and also wandering around the streets of Busan, let all the impressions sink in as well as look for food we like, as it was hard to get used to that. As Korea is full of cafes and coffeeshops we quickly found a nice cafe next to our hotel were we found bagels, scones and muffings and good (unsugared) coffee, which made the transition in terms of eating a lot easier. We also tried our first Korean meal - a pork and rice soup - which was spicy and tasteless at the same time. It was not bad, but it also was not really good. We also tried Korean chicken for the first time, which is fried chicken with different sauces and flavors you can get. It tasted pretty good, but was really heavy for the stomach so no everyday-food. My favorite thing to try was a melon-smoothie (mashed melon with a little bit of milk) and you kind drink it right out of the melon itself. It was a delicious and healthy dessert and made me really happy.

      Busan was awesome, but we did not see everything because of the jetlag and all the overwhelming new impression, so we will probably go there again as it is just 2 1/2 hours by train from Seoul to Busan, although it is on the other side of the country thanks to highspeed trains.

      For us it is past midnight now and I have finally started the promised travel diary and written the first two entries. So, good night and see you soon.

      *German version*

      Die ersten Tage unserer 4 Monate in Korea verbrachten wir in Busan, einer wunderschönen Stadt im Süden. Leider wurden wir von einem wirklich schlimmen Jetlag heimgesucht, also nutzten wir die Zeit auch, um uns an das Land und die Zeitverschiebung zu gewöhnen und uns ein wenig einzuleben.
      Wir hatten Glück, dass wir im Vorfeld einige Tipps bekommen haben, wie man sich in Korea ohne Koreanischkenntnisse fortbewegen kann und glücklicherweise gab fast überall Wlan (lieben wir!!) - so haben wir es sogar geschafft, die Zeit hier ohne koreanische Sim-Card zu verbringen.

      Busan hat einen wunderschönen Strand und unser Hotelzimmer lag direkt daneben, aber anders als man denken würde, sind wir nicht an den Strand gegangen, obwohl es 30-35° hatte. Warum ? Weil wir schlicht und einfach zu feige waren. Koreaner tragen keine Bikinis oder Badeanzüge, sie gehen voll bekleidet mit normaler Kleidung oder sogar mit Ganzkörper-Badeanzügen schwimmen. Wir haben noch nicht ganz herausgefunden, warum, aber sicherlich sind 2 der Gründe, weil sie nicht braun werden wollen und auch, weil sie sehr konservativ sind und nicht viel Haut zeigen. Deshalb haben wir uns auch nicht getraut, uns in unseren Bikinis am Strand zu sonnen, weil wir auch ohne halbnackt zu sein schon genug angestarrt wurden.

      Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, das Gamcheon Culture Village zu besuchen - ein Ort voller bunter Häuser und einer Menge Geschichte. Gamcheon hat sich vor nicht allzu langer Zeit, in den frühen 2000er Jahren, von einem armen Dorf zu einem kulturellen Hotspot entwickelt. Heute ist es eine der größten Touristenattraktionen in Busan, aber trotzdem nicht überlaufen und wirklich schön. Man sieht zwar immer noch, dass es sich aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen entwickelt hat, aber es ist wirklich beeindruckend zu erleben. Das Dorf ist auch der Nachkriegszeit gewidmet und beherbergt ein "Haus des Friedens", in dem die Menschen ihre Wünsche - vor allem in Bezug auf Nord- und Südkorea - an die Wände schreiben können. Es war wirklich beeindruckend, all diese Wünsche für Korea von Menschen aus aller Welt zu lesen. Das war definitiv ein Highlight für uns.

      In den ersten Tagen in Korea waren wir hauptsächlich damit beschäftigt zu realisieren, in was für ein Abenteuer wir da eigentlich gerade gestartet sind und durch die Straßen von Busan zu schlendern, all die Eindrücke auf sich wirken zu lassen und nach Essen zu suchen, das wir mögen, denn das war am Anfang gar nicht so einfach. Da Korea voller Cafés und Coffeeshops ist, fanden wir schnell ein nettes Café in der Nähe unseres Hotels, in dem wir Bagels, Scones und Muffins und guten (ungezuckerten) Kaffee fanden, was uns die Umstellung in Sachen Essen sehr erleichterte. Wir probierten auch unsere erste koreanische Mahlzeit - eine Suppe mit Schweinefleisch und Reis -, die gleichzeitig scharf und geschmacklos war. Sie war nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht wirklich gut. Außerdem haben wir zum ersten Mal koreanisches Hühnchen probiert, ein gebratenes Hähnchen mit verschiedenen Soßen und Geschmacksrichtungen, die man bekommen kann. Es hat ziemlich gut geschmeckt, war aber sehr schwer für den Magen, also kein Alltagsessen. Mein Favorit war ein Melonen-Smoothie (pürierte Melone mit ein wenig Milch), den man direkt aus der Melone trinken kann. Mein absoluter Favorit bis jetzt - gesunde Nachspeisen zu finden ist hier nämlich praktisch ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit, denn anders als sie Aussehen lieben die Koreaner Zucker und Süßes in Mengen und Massen - das ist sogar mir zu viel.

      Busan war toll, aber wir haben wegen des Jetlags und all der überwältigenden neuen Eindrücke nicht alles gesehen. Deshalb werden wir wahrscheinlich noch einmal dorthin fahren, denn dank der Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge sind es nur 2 1/2 Stunden von Seoul nach Busan, obwohl es auf der anderen Seite des Landes liegt.

      Bei uns ist es jetzt 0.14 Uhr und ich habe endlich mit dem versprochenen Reisetagebuch angefangen und die ersten beiden Einträge verfasst. Somit Gute Nacht und bis bald.
