Hello October! Haha! I should have done this post earlier ;p I've been busy preparing for my Japan trip this December. This month, I would like to do some throwback blog posts. For the first post, I will continue my adventure in Busan last year. Yeah, it's been months since my last post about my adventure in South Korea, and now I have to continue what I have started. 

Day-2 in Busan
We woke up a little bit late, and found this two packed rice, noodles and bananas for breakfast in the kitchen. Yeah, Gary already go to work that morning. So, after a little stretching, we are getting ready to explore Busan. So, after having Ramyun for breakfast, we walk along the Haeundae beach heading to... Busan Aquarium!! Yay!! 
If you walk along the beach, you will find this gate and small park before the main enterance to the aquarium.I'm pretty sure this gate says something about the aquarium ;p 

Important - If you show your KR-Pass and Passport to the ticket officer, you will get a discount. And we are really smart! Left our KR-Pass and pasport at apartment -_-! So, I have to run back to apartment, tired -_-!

If you already visit Siam Aquiarium, this Aquarium is pretty small (only three floors). One I notice, since this both aquarium under the same company, they both have a underwater musical show with different story of course (even I don't understand the story hehe). At the end of the tour, you will meet this great hammerhead shark. I thought we got lost because it's pretty short tour, and we going back to 2nd floor with the help of the officer. Haha! Sorry oppa ;p

From Busan aquarium, we decide to go to that island back there. After checking the map, we decide just to walk along the beach. I thought it's close, but the fact, it's pretty far (for my sister), hehe ;p





I saw thia Sun & Fun under the trees and some other places. Gary said in the summer the will spray water throught this thing. Sounds fun!
Finally! We readch Dong-baek Park. We walk around a wooden boardwalk, and there are some observation deck along this walk. The view from this place is so beautiful. The first thing you will find is a statue of a mermaid. This mermaid is relayed the legend of Princess Heo Hwang-ok (허황옥), the first queen of the Geumgwan Gaya. I didn't take picture because we thought we will walk back and see it again. In fact, we keep walking straight forward -_-! Haha!
 
After long walk on the wooden boardwalk, we finally see the Nurimaru APEC House. This house open daily (except first Monday every month) and free of charge. You can see the conference hall and some displays about Korean Traditions, like the food. 






You can also see the Gwangan bridge from this place too ^^. There a traiditional building around this APEC house, but we don't go there becuase my sister already getting crazy because we walk too much, haha! So we trying to find way home (because we thought we lost again!) and find the second cherry blossom there, hehe! I was trying to take nice picture, but that oppa came up fast T_T
Still thought that we are lost, we keep walking and cross the street. We also try to ask where the closest subway to some old people (how silly we are) haha! They just give no sign everytime we try to ask in english. We also try to ask younger people, but still got no answer. So we decide just walk (with my sister complaining) and finally find SUBWAY enterance!!! Yay!! We are safe!!
So, what we do after we finnd the subway?? Hehehe.. I will continue in the next post. 

Speak soon,
