Korea Trip - Seoul and Busan 2012 Day 1 and 2

I booked the air tickets a year before during a promotion.  Rather happy that time as the price is around S$1.6k for 4 pax...
Finalised on Hotel and booking half year ago. 

Read up on blog trying to know more about Korea so that can start planning our Itinerary.  Is not easy to remember street names and location.

We finalised with 2 nite in Busan, 5 nites in Shinchon and 2 nites in Ming Dong.

Kids are very happy, we are waiting too long for our holiday too.

Daddy is down with throat infection, kids coughing not a good start actually.

We took a nite flight from KL at 11 plus, reached Korea at 6 plus in the morning.  We took a train from Airport to Seoul Station to catch the direct train at 9.30am. 








Is a long weekend for Korean, so all seat are taken, we manage to board the bullet train (SGD270 for tickets of 4) and found 3 seats at the resting area.  Reached Busan around 12 noon. Planned to book the coming back seat but again all taken 8(  We proceed to take a subway to our hotel but realise is not link to Busan Station.  A short walk for about 5 mins. 

Facing problem buying our 1st ticket at subway station.  Help by their ticketing attendances.  Helpful old uncle help on our luggage and show us the right way. 

We reach our hotel - Riviera Hotel (SGD 370 x 2 nights) with about 5 mins of walking.  Weather is warm with cooling wind 8) 

We took a short rest and proceed to look for our 1st meal in Busan.  Justen wanted to have herbal chicken for lunch so we choose a restaurant near our hotel.  Shop aunties are very nice, although we have language barrier but she tried her best to teach us the correct way of taking the soup.  Even the guest who know a bit of English help us to translate.  Really a good and nice start.  Lunch is about 25kwon.

After lunch we proceed to our 1st plan, 海云台水族馆.  I start to have a real headache so after the kids spend around 1hr at the aquarium we planned to go back to Hotel to take a short nap. 

After the nap we start to hunt for our dinner.  We aiming for BBQ, and we found a really crowded restaurant but their service is fast and friendly 8)  Dinner is about 40kwon.

The nite is rather cooling, need a jacket in order not to catch a cold.  Tried their red not so spicy 年糕and soupy fish cake.  Not our liking...  Bought bread, milk, fruits and tidbits for kids and their breakfast.

We are back to hotel at 12mn... Is ok lah is Holiday, so we can sleep late and wake up later 8)
