Weekend in Busan - 060614

Time truly has flown by and it's already my last week living in Seoul! Last weekend, we went on our first out-of-town trip together and next weekend, we'll be checking out of the livingtel and will have to live from our luggages! This following week will be rather hectic too- finals begin on Monday (I have 2 exams on Monday and a take home paper due Saturday), my clothing pieces have to be completed before school's out and I foresee lots of packing to be done!

Anyway, our first trip out together was to Busan. The weather was unexpectedly cooler than in Seoul so I wound up lugging my only long-sleeved top around everyday. It was also the first time (I would ever) I pass up a chance to eat bingsu because the weather was already cold and eating shaved ice would mean a frozen Bin.

On the other hand, food in Busan was delicious and we had enough hotteoks to last several years (Ryan ate 10 in 3 days, hardcore). I'm looking forward to having more Busan hotteok when I'm back again later this month! Actually, food in Korea has been really good so far. Of the entire time I've been here, I only had 1-2 meals/dishes that I didn't particularly enjoy and they were both mistakenly ordered noodles with spicy gojuchang sauce.

Here's some pictures from the trip. The rest are up on facebook :)

Our first meal! Came with lots of side dishes as per all korean meals.

At Gamchon Cultural Village which reminds me of Hyehwa Mural Village in Seoul

Onboard a ferry. I was eyeing the life jackets and was secretly happy when we returned to shore safely. 
(Remember the Sewol ferry incident in South Korea??)

The pebble beach at Taejongdae.

Posing with the lighthouse at Taejongdae. Selfie sticks are super useful for group shots!

Yummy grilled fish.

Whilst everyone was taking a selfie with the fireworks we bought.. :D

Magical night at Gwangalli beach because I loveeeee fireworks

Can I profess my love for this snack again?? ♡___


Grainy pic but this stall got an all-kill! Every one of us bought a hotteok from them.
