It rained for the whole of yesterday but today's weather was awesome! Spent the day walking from Haeundae Beach to the Diamond Bridge for the fireworks and back. Probably 15km altogether? hahaha
For today I actually wanted to capture all the couple wear and items but I failed. Haha next time!
From my hostel window you can actually see the sea partially. I am enjoying the view a lot but if I get to stay in one of the many hotels located next to the beach it would be awesome! It was pretty hot in the afternoon but most local people are in jackets and pants while some foreigners are down on to bikinis for sun tanning.
I was recommended by the hostel to visit APEC house in Dongdaekseom Island. Is it an island? I did not know. It was very well connected to the mainland though the land looked very different from the beach.
Another location Running Man was once at. hehe I can totally remember the stairs! The place also reminded me of City Hunter but I cannot find any information online to confirm it. While walking through the House I saw one of the lady who did the mountain climb with me in Seoul but I could not remember her name so I walked away HAHAAH so awkward me but I greeted her outside ^^ One step towards stop-being-so-awkward!
And there was this moment where I twisted my ankle and (maybe I tried to shift my weight so I would not hurt it bad) I fell on the other side. Thankfully there was not a lot of people. I don't think anyone even stared hahaha how weird but it was embarrassing to fall down like this. I scraped my left knee and my camera fell but thank god it is still okay. -_- My twisted ankle is okay too. -_-
And I found this unique food court in a shopping mall.
Instead of going from stall to stall, you pick the food you want from here and order it at the counter which is just beside these display.
A number will be given to you together with the receipt and then you wait for the stall to call your number. Now it reminds me of the polyclinics we have in Singapore. You get your queue number and you wait for one of the rooms to ring your number.
And then you get your food~! Plain water is provided for free too! This was the last meal of my day. Just half and hour before this jajjangmyeon I had 2 bread from a bakery that looked very atas. Pretty good I must say. The croissant was still crispy although it is not hot anymore but it was a little tasteless to me. Or maybe because I ate the one with pudding before that.
A lot of people in Korea like to walk together hand in hand. Like this family. Like the time I watched Psy's concert and my new found friend ahjumma held my hand while we walked to the subway station. And for a couple of times I had seen a couple holding hands and the girl could be holding onto her girl friend with the other hand. So lovey. I think skinship is a lot easier for them since they got jimjilbang in their culture where they see each other naked and scrub each other back and stuff.
When the sun sets in Busan, the sky does not get playful with colors but together with the many innovative design buildings they have, the city turn very beautiful.
An accidental shot of a rusty bridge I crossed
I have to say. Today's pictures came out really well ^^ All of these pictures are not filtered in any way! I love surprises like this because when I view my pictures on the dslr, the pictures will not look as good as it is on my laptop (so did the salesman told me).
I think I had quite a good view of the fireworks today although 1) I cannot see the bridge 2) there is a pole hindering my sight where most fireworks were released 3) a lot of people keep pushing me *($#*)$#(@)#(! I still cannot stand all the pushing from the people It is annoyinggggggggggg! Nevertheless this fireworks festival could be in my top 3 lists. They put up fireworks I had never seen before!
Or it is a lot nicer because it is not my tax money flying into the sky and disappearing.
It is about 1.30am here! Need to sleep soon. I slept early for the past 2 days and I should continue the cycle. People say I look exhausted (not tired. Exhausted) when they see me. I do not look that different with make up right? So I must looked really burnt out D: And I have a pimple on my nose ughs it is not going away. I read online saying toothpaste could help to reduce the redness so I had apply some on it haha
