Exploring Busan: Seomyeon, Jagalchi Market, Haeundae, and Shinsegae Department Store

So we started our day by exploring Seomyeon, which was an area walking distance from our hotel. I got my first taste of Tom N Tom, and we also did this photo booth thing that apparently is popular in Korea. Before leaving Seomyeon, we grabbed a light lunch at this Chinese type restaurant.   
    
   
After, we headed to the fish market, Jalgachi, where we saw no shortage of interesting dead sea creatures. We also saw some live ones too. We took a brief walk along the waterfront before we had lunch. Lunch was definitely an interesting experience… by eating a live octopus.

   
    
 

  
After lunch, we made our way to Haeundae to explore the World’s largest department store, Shinsengae (since 2009 according to the Guinness book of world records). It seemed like a large version of a Macy’s with an arcade area, movie theater, outdoor kids playground and a golf range (that took up the 11th to 14the floor)

   
    
    
 
Our last stop in Busan was the beach at Haeundae. We took some photos there, stopped by another Tom N Tom for an awesome pretzel, then made our way to the airport (we drove over the Gwanganri bridge on the way).
