🌊 Busan is located in the South of the peninsula and is the 3rd biggest city in the country. It is famous for being a modern beach city with a huge fish market. It is a MUST visit when travelling to Korea. Here are things you need to see while there:

⛅️ Haedong Yonggungsa Temple – This stunning temple is located just next to the ocean. The beautiful cliffs give the temple a completely different atmosphere than other Buddhist Temples located in South Korea.

🎣 Jagalchi Fish Market – Jagalchi Fish Market is the highlight of Busan. This huge inside and outside market is nothing you’ve ever seen before.

🛍 Shinsegae Department Store – If you’re into shopping, then this is the place to go. Each big city has a department store similar to this but the one in Busan is extra special as is has a stunning rooftop. The rooftop has statues, animals, cafe and a skywalk.

🍻 If you’re planning on hanging out at a few bars while you’re here in Korea, you might want to know a few cultural tidbits that’ll make you feel more comfortable here.

🥃 Here’s what i have observed in Korea:
– Korean style bars don’t have standing room. Normally there are only chairs and tables.
– It’s not common for people to go to bars by themselves.
– Koreans almost always go to bars with their friends.
– When Koreans drink, they almost always order food to eat. This is called 안주 (anju).

🌻 The weather is the best during these seasons, and the country is absolutely beautiful.

🌸 Early spring has the cherry blossoms while autumn has the gorgeous foliage. Winter and summer aren’t bad but if you have the freedom, don’t come during those seasons.

🌞 Summer is so humid, you’ll never want to leave your hotel room, and winter is, well, winter.

💸 I’m not the best person to dole out budget advice because I suck at budgeting, but I’d say Korea falls in the middle for Asian countries. It’s a lot cheaper than traveling Japan, but you’ll be in for a bit of a shock if you’re used to Cambodia or Vietnam prices.

🍱 A Korean meal can be anywhere from 5,000 KRW to 20,000 KRW depending on where you go, but typically 5,000-10,000. Korean BBQ usually costs between 10,000-15,000 KRW per person, but they often want you to buy more than one serving.

🍸 Drinks in bars can be pricey, sometimes up to 7,000 KRW, so what some people do is pregame at one of the convenience stores and then buy one drink there.

💃🏻 Club cover fees are around 10-15,000 KRWA regular hostel can range from 15,000-20,000 KRW/night while a franchise hotel can be 150,000 KRW+.

🌲 Entrance fees are 1,000-3,000 KRW, sometimes 8,000-10,000 KRW for bigger nature areas like Suncheon Bay or the Camelia Hill in Jeju. A subway or local bus ride is usually between 1,000-2,000 depending on how far you go.

🇰🇷 Okay, Seoul is overwhelming. Once you get used to it, though, it’s an awesome city to explore. And the subway system is one of the best in the world.

🗺 Traditional Culture – Check out the palaces, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Jongmyo Shrine, do a temple stay!

📈 Trendy Things to Do – Look up all the random cafés, visit the filming locations of your favorite dramas, go to a K-pop show, visit the many funky museums or outdoor parks… The sky is really the limit in a city where the p**p cafe isn’t even the most random cafe!

📸 Scenic views – Head up to Namsan tower, hang out the man made stream, Cheonggyecheon, hike Bukhansan, stroll near the city walls, go to Pocheon Herb Island, take a day trip out to Gapyeong or Suwon… the list goes on!

⏳ Things related to the Korean War – Visit the DMZ/JSA and spend the afternoon at the War Memorial Museum of Korea.

🤖 My favorite part was the robotic convinience store with no employees present! It was so cool and was a uniquely Korean experience. My Korean friend @0306.h showed us how to check out at the store, I would have been so lost without her 🤣

Have you seen a store like that before?
