Busan - Day 2
The morning started at 9am. We got ready for the day and headed off to find the aquarium (which is famous in Busan). Luckily there were signs leading towards it, so it was easy to find, and right on the beach. We bought our tickets and headed on in.
One of the coolest things at the aquarium was getting to watch the shark feeding. The shark tank was amazing and had one of those walkways made of glass right through it. They had mostly the same fish that we have at aquariums back in the states, though they are missing the northwoods fish... no trout or muskeys :-( But lots of types of squid and octopus and eel.
After the aquarium, we ate at Popeyes (I know...we are super adventurous). Then we headed down to the beach. We were at Haeundae Beach for a little while. It was a little cold, but the view was amazing. There are 3 islands off the coast and you can see them pretty well. There were also plenty of pigeons all over the place to keep us entertained.
We kept walking along the beach until we found Mi Wharf. Fromt he whart we got on a boat and headed out to sea!! We got an up close view of the 3 islands and of Busan Lighthouse, though we didn't actually land on any of the islands. The boat was freezing, but the view was worth it. Once we docked, we walked along the road and looked at all the raw fish restaurants with their tanks of fish outside. Neither of us were hungry though, so we passed by them.
From there we headed to the mall to see if there were any interesting movies playing. We got tickets for "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves. We checked out the bookstore until it was time to see our movie. I got 4 books from around 20,000 Won ($18) which is super cheap compared to the bookstores in Seoul.
Finally, it was time for the movie! Popcorn in hand, we made our way to the theater. It was farely good, but luckily I didn't have any expectations going into it. Probably a movie I will someday buy in Yongsan (that means I'll buy it cheaply).
Then it was time for dinner. We got chicken fried rice that was only 2,600 Won ($2.50) but it tasted fantastic! And, it was right next to the mall that the movie theater was in, so we didn't have to walk out in the cold for very long!
From there it was back to the hotel. Another relaxing evening for us. We watched "Arlington Road" and The Simpsons (2 episodes to be exact...I loved it!!!). Plus 3rd Rock from the Sun was on! We wanted to watch "Who is Cletus Tout" but it didn't work. Then we tried "Swordfish" but the box was empty (no movie inside) That's how "Arlington Road" got picked, but it wasn't that bad of a movie! Then it was time for bed... we had a lot going on the next day!
