35th Day - Busan Day 2

Second day of our trip. First thing in the morning, we visited Jangalchi market. The layers of building seen on the far end somehow remind me of Santorini... not that I've been there in my life...





Here's the fish market by the dock







And here's the better view of the harbor





We found this nearby the tourist information center. We can take our picture, write on it and had it sent to our email


Next destination is Taejongdae
We took the bus there

The area looks very quiet... and windy...

Here's the waffle that attracted our eyes. It looks better than it tastes


Shinkye... same... looks better than it tastes
Danubi that we used to travel the area



First stop: Taejongdae observatory





Next stop: Lighthouse



We actually reached the lighthouse and got inside... but to get there... damn... it was tooo tiring... really... especially to get back up...





Seafood restaurant by the rock
We took a rest with Odeng. It was such a treat after being tired and cold
Here's the way to get to the cliff



Here's the cliff


On my way back up, I had no breath to spare to take pics... too tiring
Next stop, Taejongsa Temple




Next stop: lunch....
Anyway, we ordered 3 serving, but the Ahjumoni gave us 4... Busan people are sooo kind hearted


Next destination: Haeundae Beach






And this is Haedong Yonggusa Temple



















Last for that day: Gwangan Bridge.. on the way there, the bus driver gave us candies... does it normal there? people are too nice...



We planned to stay in another jjimjilbang that night. But somehow, it was hard to find one around the area. We had asked some people, and they mentioned one inside the hotel. For sure we didnt believe at once. What is jjimjilbang doing in a hotel?
But as fate brought us to a small mart, ahjumoni told us about the jjimjilbang inside Aqua Palace Hotel. Apparently, yeah it is inside the hotel. and more than that, she gave us KRW 2000 voucher to stay in that jjimjilbang...
I feel touched by the hospitality of this dynamic Busan. heeheheh
anyway, we went to the hotel and found one of the nicest jjimjibang ever. it costs KRW 9000 but we had the voucher... so yeah... calculate yourself...
It was very nice... clean and big
This is the shoe lockers
Inside the bathing area, I tried the 50 degree sauna and the 71 degree sauna... felt like I was about to explode anytime soon
No picture on that, for sure.
We got up to the 8th floor which turned up to be huge huge area of sleeping space. They also have aroma room, ice room, another saunas, PC rooms, etc etc etc. see the legs sticking out? yeah, it's a hole for people to sleep.




Here's the locker

Here's the ice room

We had shikye again.... so refreshing
This is the view when I wake up. You can see the bridge
