Turning 21 ~The Korean age system

In Korea theres something called Korean age, which basically adds one or two

more years to your age.

 Many people don't know how to calculate their Korean

age, but it's pretty simple. 

So what's your Korean age???
Below ill show you how it works:

(This year - Your Birth year) + 1 = Your Korean age

Example:

(2014 - 1990) + 1 = 25

(2014 - 1983) + 1 = 32

On the day that you are born, you are experiencing the 1st year of

your life, therefore in Korea, you are 1 (year of age).

So, everybody is 1 year of age on the day that they are born.

1. If you were born this year, you are experiencing your 1st year in

life, so you are 1.

2. If you were born last year, you are experiencing your 2nd year in

life, so you are 2.

I celebrated my 31st Birthday yesturday so according to the

Korean age system I just turned 32

One year older than my international age.

" Personally age doesnt bother me as long as you stay young at heart you will forever be 21"

Nampo-dong

One of my favorite places in Busan has to be Nampo-dong .

Its known as one of the famous tourists attractions because of Busan

Tower, PIFF square and its also near by Jagalchi fish Market.

I particually loved wandering around PIFF square which stands for the

Pusan International Film Festival - one of the most significant Asian

film festivals in existence (imagine Cannes in Asia, and that's how

big a deal it is to Busan).

Even when there is no film festival happening, the area is active -

street vendors, movie theaters, bars, arcades, movie theaters, 

restaurants.

Gwanghak Street displays some beautiful holiday lights over the

Christmas and New Year period and it has a beautiful christmas

atomsophere.

You will also see a alot of market stalls selling everything from

socks to underwear to snacks to jewellery.
