Seomyeon

Every day around mid day I would make my way in to Seomyeon for some lunch.

Seomyeon is the commercial centre and most crowded area in Busan. 

Ladies especially will enjoy the shopping opportunities throughout the under ground Daehyeon Primall as well as the Mini Mall and on the streets above. This above all is the most perfect place to go shopping.

Seomyeon is home to a sizeable Department store , traditional market and discount stores. This is a so called cultural melting pot Where ninightclubs, game arcades and movie theaters are located.

When the sun goes down the street is filled with vibrant excitement and bright lit neon signs of bars , games rooms and nightclubs. There are endless bars specializing in soju, beer, house beer and cocktails as well as chicken jokbal restaurants, fusion restaurants and samgyeopsal restaurants. 

As it is the most crowded area in Busan Seomyeon offers endless dinning choices. Ttukbuki street is the street to enjoy traditional Korean food at cheap prices and Meokja street is where you can find a variety of popular snacks. 

By far Seomyeon is one of my favourite places in Busan.

The Busan underground

The underground system is very similar to that of the London underground.

They use a very simple colour and number system which made it so easy to get around. In my case much easier than Seoul.

The underground stations are very clean and some even classy with marble floors. Undergrounds sometimes have endless shops selling clothing, cosmetics and jewellery. The shops usually lead you right out to the street entrance so even if you don't take the subway be sure to go down and have a look I found some really great products. 

The ticketing machines are very easy to use and you can select English on the touch screens to help you plan your journey and your ticket type. I chose a day ticket which is best if you plan to travel around a lot. Its the cheapest option and you can use it on all lines. 

The Korean underground is pretty much like America its very spacious unlike the London tubes.

The underground is equipped with high speed WiFi and fully accessible. There are English speaking announcements over the tannoy if you cant read korean hangual so you can be sure not to miss your stop. 

Yeonsan

While I was in Yeonsan I stayed at The Central Hotel. It was very basic but also very clean and comfortable.I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to discover Busan as it is just two minutes walk to the subway station and so easy to commute anywhere.

Most mornings I would get up early and head out to Edia coffee shop for my morning black and a sweet snack for breakfast. Mostly I would spend the morning people watching and enjoying the fresh winter air.

Although there isn't much to do around Yeonsan it had some really pretty streets full of restaurants and coffee shops. Its an ideal place to go if you want to meet up with with friends for dinner or even just enjoy a coffee. Its a good place to relax if you want to get away from the busy streets.
