Busan, South Korea
Wednesday, Oct 12, Busan (Pusan) China
The city had a wonderful welcome show for us to watch from the ship balcony while we waited for clearance from the immigration officials. After having been in Busan a week ago, we were comfortable venturing out on our own. We took a free shuttle to Yongdusan Park where we went up the Busan Tower for a bird’s eye view of the city. While there we visited the musical museum and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the park. We then walked down the hill thru the fashion district to the Fish Market. The market is the second largest in the world. You can find sea creatures you didn’t know even existed that are caught and sold for food. Upstairs was an entire floor dedicated to dried fish. Further up the market is a restaurant for those brave enough to eat what you just saw swimming downstairs. After the fish market we walked to the International Market to shop and spend the last of our South Korean Won. We returned to the ship in time for the farewell ceremony on the pier.
