Korea Trip Day 5 : Yeongdodaegyo Bridge --> JagalchiMarket --> Busan Gamcheon Culture Village --> Busan University --> Nampodong

Day 5 :

Good morning Busan! 

We are actually here to see the yeongdodaegyo bridge. You must be thinking why are we there just to see a bridge right? 
Actually everyday at 12 noon, the road for the bridge will be close for a few mins and the bridge will be open up for the ferry to pass by the bridge. In other word, this bridge is "detachable"! There is quite a few tourist and even locals waiting near the bridge before 12 noon. 

After 12 noon and the bridge is still not up yet. Was still puzzled what is going on when we saw this banner and wonder does it says anything regarding the bridge, so I google translated the banner and as guessed, it says the bridge is under servicing from 29th May till further notice. So disappointed! Came all the way but couldn't see it.


Took a picture from the Internet to show how they "detach" the bridge.

How to go : Nampo station exit 8
Bridge opening hour : 12pm to 12.15pm daily

Without able to see the bridge, we head off to our next destination. But before moving on, coffee break first!



Next destination, jagalchi market for some fresh seafood lunch!

Seafood wet market at level 1!

We went to the restaurant upstairs for our lunch!

Sea view restaurant!

Korean style, sit on the floor with low table to eat!


The view outside!


The seafood look sooooooo fresh!


It's cooked and time to tuck in! Nomm nomm...
Initially when we walk in there isn't any customer so we are thinking maybe the food is not as nice but still just give in a try. True enough we should not judge a book by it's cover! The food there is so fresh and the soup is so yummy!




My baby octopus!

Lots of seafood store around!

Saw this super Gold car at the market! Does it looks like a big gold bar?


Many local are here to buy fresh seafood!










Super huge octopus!

I'm back to this Ahjuma for her yummy red bean pancake!





Very generous filled with red bean!

How to go : Jagalchi station exit 10



After a wonderful lunch, we walk over to the Nampo underground shopping centre to do some shopping!
        
Next we took a train to goejeong station and took a taxi from the station to gamcheon culture village. At first we thought of walking from the station but looking at the map it seems to be quite far so we gave up the idea and luckily we took the taxi because it is indeed quite a distance from the station!














Cat fellowing me for my pancake!




Cute little house!




Is he staring at me?












Look at these beautiful colorful houses!


My camera shy "boyfriend"... Haha!

Can see that Korean really like lock a lot. Haha!




Pass by a group of cute grandpas playing chess outside a province shop.

And walk pass this Korean couple playing ' scissor, paper, stone ' on the stairs just like how the romantic couple in the Korean drama do. But... this is a torture for us, the single ladies! 


We reach the opposite side of the colourful houses and this is the other look of this cute houses. 

How to go : Goejeong station exit 6, take a cab or take bus sakha 1 or sakha 1-1 

Next we went to Busan university to shop and have our dinner! I will recommend to shop around the university area because the clothes there are much cheaper and most of them are even cheaper then Dongdaemun and Myeongdong.

Not sure what is the restaurant selling? This is what i do! Picture google translation! Haha!

Some restaurants doesn't have English or chinese menu so I have to google translate it again.

So we had Dwaji Gukbop ( porkbone soup with rice ) for dinner! Very local food recommend by Gemma Unnie!



Rice soak in very rich Porkbone soup! Nice!

One of the side dish is the Sundae. Doesn't look good but it actually taste good!

Went to Nampo to chill and do more shopping!


Pass by a pet shop and i went in the grab some yummy snacks for my dog at home!






Saw many more cute doggy in the pet shops! So cute! Too bad I can't bring back to Singapore! 




Met this XL and XS dog on the roadside! So cute and friendly dog!

After walking for quite awhile, went to coffeesmith cafe to chill like the local and enjoy our last night in Busan.


Met so many dogs today! Dogs are even allow in cafe! How nice...

It's quite late already but there is still quite a few stalls open while most of the shops are close.

Bought the Line coffee drink from the convenience store and it's quite nice.

Oh ya! My loot on the behalf of my dog! Haha! Cheap and I'm sure she will like it!
