Busan

Jagalchi Market is a famous fish market in Busan, sort of like Japan's Tsukiji, if more rough-hewn and seafood-oriented. There are literally hundreds of fishmongers located inside two or three buildings. Interestingly, the seafood prices are standardized across all of them.

For me, perhaps the most impressive attraction in my South Korea trip is Gamcheon Cultural Village. This village was originally a refugee housing area. During the Korean Wars, many refugees came to Busan from the north and they settled in this village.

On the second day of our Busan trip, Typhoon Mitag brought in a lot of rain. Our Korean friends in Canada suggested us to try out a Jjimjilbang (Korean spa) if we could. So, we asked the guesthouse staff and she recommended Spa Land Centum City.
