Yup ! I'm back again to continue my Busan trip.

After we settled down at our hotel, we've decided to go walk around and look for food !

This is the entrance of Gukje market which is the place we decided to go look for food !

The Gukje Market is like those night market in Taiwan that you can shop and eat at the same time. There's quite a few street food stalls so whenever you see something u wanna eat u can just stop and have a bite and continue.

After that we are feeling more and more hungry and we decided to find a proper place to eat and we happen to walk past this fried chicken restaurant.

We walked past this restaurant as we see the person preparing the fried chicken outside the restaurant and it seems like its damm good and so we decided to GO FOR IT !

We ordered a plate of fried chicken and this plate came ! There's so much fried chicken and it only cost us 15000won which is around sgd18.

The 3 of us shared a plate and surprisingly it filled our stomach ! Although the chicken is fried but it's not very oily and the meat is not fried till very dry also. One of the best fried chicken I had in Korea.

After that we decided to go to the Busan Square to have a walk as it's one of the places to visit as it's like the Myeongdong of Busan.

The place looks so modernised compared to Gukje Market until that you will be mistaken as you're in Seoul.

The Busan Square looks so much like Seoul which also have all the famous brands there, and it's really crowded too !

There's also an area which teenagers will perform there, just like in Hongdae. It reminds me of DreamHigh.

Ok, I shall stop here, kinda lazy to blog also as I'm tired from working. I'm basically working almost everyday without rest.

Shall blog again soon !

Its been more den a week since I've updated as I'm quite busy for the past one to two weeks.

Now back to posting.

On the 2nd and 3rd day of the Korea trip we decided to go to Busan for a 2D1N experience as 7days in Seoul maybe abit too long for us.

Actually I also duno why we went to Busan as I was the one who suggested we go to Busan for 2 days as its the hometown of one of my favourite girlgroup Apink's member, Jung Eunji's hometown so thats one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Busan.

We decided to stay at Elysee Motel which the reviews for the motel is like superb as everybody have good reviews and ratings for the motel and they say the price is reasonable and so I decided to choose that place.

The key to our room and off we go !

The room for Elysee Motel is a very very simple room.

From what you guys see from the pic, its just a queen size bed and a single bed as there's 3 of us together.

There's a fridge provided so that we can have cold drinks, there's an electric kettle that we can boil water if needed. There's wifi and a PC provided so that we can use to surf net but it's running on Win98 and its kinda slow and its in full korean.

The whole room can be operated with a remote control which controls the TV, the aircon and the lights in the room so its quite convinient.

And of course the toilet is very important for me as its a place we wash up and shit, and the toilet doesn't disappoint.

The toilet comes with a bathtub and a rainshower but it's not recommended if you guys are staying as friends of guys and girl as the toilet door is full transparent so there's no privacy if you're bathing.

Overall I find the Elysee Motel not bad as it's simple and cosy but it's not as fantastic and fabulous that everybody have said. But for the price its actually quite bang for the buck so if you're on a budget and its quite recommended. Oh, and I have to mention that it's doesn't have a wardrobe or cupboard so there's gonna be some problem if you're staying here for a few days.

Gonna logoff now and I'll post on the food I had at Busan on my next post.

Its November already ! Oh my god ! Year 2014 is gonna end in 2 months !

LOL ! Ok, back to my blogging.

I'm gonna talk about the 1st day that I'm in Korea.

As a tourist, there are some places that is a must visit if you go Korea and I've decided to go to Myeongdong !

Myeongdong is a very tourist place as most of the shops staffs knows how to speak Korean, Chinese, limited english and limited japanese so that tourists are able to converse with the shop staffs.

We went to this restaurant call Two Two, which seems to be quite famous as I saw a few advertisment about them so we decided to try it when we saw it.

We ordered a Samgaetang ( Ginseng Chicken Soup ), Beancurd skin Soup and half a Fried Chicken. It doesn't look nice from the photo rite. And yes, it's overrated and expensive.

The Samgaetang and the Fried Chicken is like 16k Won each which is around SGD20 which I find is too overrated and overpriced in Korea.

After breakfast we went to walk and shopped around before we head off to Namsam Seoul Tower.

Seoul Tower is the place where lovers write their name on the locks and lock them on the fence which they say each other's love will be locked down forever .

Pardon for the lousy phototaking as there is really too many people there as its the Golden Week in China which tons of Ah Tiongs will go overseas and no offence to them, they really lack manners and rushing around and making tons of noise.

The amount of couples that had their love locked at this place is seriously over 9000. It's so damm alot that you won't be able to count the amount of locks there. ITS CRAZY !

After that when we have walked around and feeling abit tired, there is this lighting ceremony as it's the Hangul Day of Korea and there are performance.

There is this performance of people playing instruments and dancing around which is very impressive as their dance is like making the feather or the string on their hat turn and spin in a very nice way which I find it's damm difficult to do coz they have to play the instruments, walking around the square and moving their head AT THE SAME TIME which is damm impressive !

After that there is this martial arts performance which is damm impressive also as there is alot of weapons like the sword, the blade, the spear, double hand sword and it shows them chopping off straws and bamboo nicely and in style. Lucky we decided to come to Seoul Tower on this day but the amount of Cheena tourists here is kinda turn off seriously.

After that we decided to walk down the mountain which is damm tiring ! I seriously wonder how people can climb up and down this mountain ! We took like 20 minutes to travel down the mountain !

We decided to look for dinner at Myeongdong as it's around 7+ when we have walked down back to Myeongdong and I decide to go to the restaurant recommended by my friend who went to it before me.

The restaurant is call Wangjibib and I have to say their beef and pork is damm good ! The service of the restaurant is very good also but the price is more to the high side.

Even for the price, I'm willing to pay again to have a meal here ! Remember its Wangjibib !

After that we went back to our apartment to get ready for the next 2 days,

BUSAN !

That will have to wait till the next post !
