Busan- Day 2

Slept till 9,10 a.m before preparing for out journey.

Our first destination was Jagalchi Fish Market, the country's largest fish market. Before going there, I kept wondering what's so nice about this fish market. After all, it's just another fish market. I've seen lots of that. Back in Malaysia, and even in Seoul.
But after being there, I'll certainly recommend it to anyone that's going for a trip to Busan. Even if you're not planning to buy anything, it's a good place to see all the strange, weird, gigantic sea creatures, for FREE^^

Had ikan bakar(grilled fish) for lunch before moving on to PIFF Square, a modern youth street like Petaling Street. Later we headed to Gukje Market (International Market) which I think is Busan's largest market. (But doesn't really interest me)

In the evening we went to Daecheong Park, where we had a wonderful view of Busan from Democracy Park. The Daecheong Park monument was also quite interesting. A place to remember those that were sacrificed during the wars.

Lastly, we went to the famous Yongdusan Park, with the 118m Busan Tower located in it. Though we were disappointed by the so called aquarium (we thought we would be in some tunnels, but in turned out to be some small aquarium, like that of a normal roadside fish shop), the night view of Busan from the tower was able to cover that part.

Before taking the 11.00pm train, we dropped by at a roadside stall and had our dinner.

Thus ends our 2days2night Busan trip. The trip in itself was wonderful, beautiful scenery, fresh air, friendly people.....but what I liked most about the trip was the precious time I spent with my friends^^
