Dynamic Busan: Nampo-dong and PNU area

What's one thing that is representative of PNU?

The SLOPES. The pictures here don't do justice to how steep the slope is. But ohwells, its really quite tiring. But after awhile I got used to it. haha.

This is one of the better lunches in our dorm:

Right, we went back to Nampo-dong to shop:

LUCAS!

Bought this waffle near the BIFF village. Inside has honey and cream:

And we saw a long queue outside this stall:

Apparently the food stall got onto TV before.

The fillings inside are brown sugar and sunflower seeds. But its nice!

haha our fav dinner:

---------------------------------------

One of the days after our Korean convo class, me and Anqi went to this restaurant alongside the road and ate bibimbap. coz at that time, it was the only word I could read on the menu. As usual, it was too big a portion, and we ate until damn full.

Next day, we met up with Garam, our friend we made in SMU last semester. I was in my FA class when I got to know this korean girl called Seongyeong. And she said her roommate is from Busan. Thus we met up for chicken rice and beancurd near our school, and this is how I got to know another korean friend!

So she brought us to this SECRET alley near PNU, and into a restaurant selling milmyeon. or issit naengmyeon. I can never tell the 2 apart. both are cold noodles, but one of them is made from buckwheat. its really nice. I luv it alot.

Then Garam brought us to this cafe which she always frequents. Its on level 2 of one of the many shophouses we see here in the PNU shopping street.

the place was just awesome, very different from the commercialised coffee chains. unique. tranquil.

My cinnamon coffee. Garam's huge toast, and Anqi's Mint coffee.

The coffee is not to my liking though. Not sweet enough.

Once again, we look back at this wonderful new place:

 

Many more coffee house and cafes to explore here! =)

Dynamic Busan: Haeundae Beach

For the 1st weekend at Busan, we headed to Haeundae Beach with Mabel and Michelle too.

Now u know why this is called the No.1 beach in Busan? Its just awesomely pretty! This photo is not photoshopped at all! We quickly snapped it when the sun came out and there was this natural sunrays effect. arghh so nice:

We walked over to Busan Aquarium which is at the far end.

But we only ride a 3D 'Happy Feet' ride. Didn't go into the aquarium coz it was ex.

There was a machine along the beach, which enabled us to take a picture and doodle on it! And input your email and they will send it to u! 

At the further end, there was a statue of this mermaid:

Haeundae Beach at evening time:

At nite, we walked towards the other end which had all the seafood restaurants:

SASHIMI!:

Not a very filling dinner, but it was an overload of seafood. haha.

Dynamic Busan: Start our new sch term!

On 31st Aug, my buddy, Seran, came to pick me from the hostel Blue Backpackers to PNU. Likewise for Anqi, KL, and Isaac. Seran brought me and Anqi to this place called 天地人 for lunch.

As usual, the portion was so big we ate till our stomachs were full to the brim.

had baskin robbins ice cream after that.

ok. now for our awesome looking dorm. Here's how it looks like from the outside.

CONDO!

And at nite: 

This is the corridor to our room. Kinda looks like hospital corridor hahaa.

My side of the dorm room, without all the bedsheets and stuffs: 

The toilet:

This is Anqi's wardrobe, and the one near the door is the shoe rack. awesome, can put alot of shoes. But too bad we don't have alot of shoes...

That's all. Subsequent days, Seran brought us to make our Alien registration card at Jungang. This card is necessary for us to make our handphones in Korea.

After making the card, we walked over nearby to the Lotte Department store and had Jap food for lunch

This is the model of the department store. NICE RITE 

They have a rooftop garden. Awesome. 

The view from on top of Lotte: 

After that we went to Gukje Market to SHOP! It was sooo big and confusing so we kinda got lost. There were many different lanes to cater to different kinds of people, the women's lane, guy's lane, ahjumma's land, ahjussi's lane etc.

At nite, we ate this pancake for dinner. 2 person share 1 is enough, coz the portion is really big.

That's all for the post today. More to come!
