Thursday, March 15, 2012, Busan (Pusan), South Korea – a port we enjoy and feel comfortable visiting. Busan is the second largest city in South Korea and boasts lively markets, both traditional shopping items and fish markets. You can even participate in a traditional Korean tea ceremony inside a local temple. Speaking of temples, there are many, many temples to visit in this area, mainly Buddhist and they are lovely. However, we choose to spend our day shopping and watching the women cook.
Off to Gwangbokdong, a market of many small shops crowded together along narrow side streets, each open front store specializes in one item or a bunch of souvenirs! And in the middle of a couple of streets you mind the mamma-sans cooking – such a sight.
It was a successful day; we came back with a couple of packages and sailed for Shanghai at 6PM.
