Here are some photos from Busan, Korea! I brought my DSLR with me, but ended up not taking any photos with it. I love my camera, but it’s so chunky and heavy, and I had so much other baby stuff to carry..so all these photos were taken with my iPhone.
Looking back on the trip, most photos are food photos. I love Korean food, and Andy’s aunt made sure that we ate a lot..
Above photos are “Korean traditional course meal” as Andy’s aunt described it. For 45 straight minutes the restaurant staff brought endless different dishes and we were super stuffed by the end.
After that meal, we ended up going to a cafe for coffee and desert. While in Busan I kept seeing this thing (left bottom picture). It was what looked like a huge piece of toast with gobs of whipped cream on top. Is that a Korean thing? I’ve never seen that in Japan or the States! 
We were trying to be good but the next morning, we could not help trying it! It was delicious. I plan on imitating that some morning..it seems super easy, just toast a huge piece of bread, put butter, caramel or chocolate syrup and whipped cream on top of it and eat. The simple pleasures in life!
We took a stroll in the morning near beach.
Here are some shots of hotel we stayed. It was facing the beach, but it was a bit too cold to get in the water.
Next day, we went to a place called Nampodong. It is a shopping area, full of small shops next to each other. It was a bit hard to move around with a stroller. I found some fabric and notions shops. I usually like to buy some fabric whenever I travel to a new place, but I could not find anything uniquely Korean there.. so I ended up buying some invisible zippers! (boring). They were signfiantly cheaper than the ones in Japan though.
Andy ran out of clean underwear during the trip, so he picked some up. Much to his chagrin, Korean male underwear as it turned out, does not have a pee hole cut out in the front?! So I asked the sales lady why that’s the case, and she said Korean guys don’t like that the fabric flops open when they sit, so that is why there was no hole. So strange!
The onigiri (rice balls) pictured above was our sad dinner when it poured outside, as mentioned in previous posts we had a war with Kiko and could not go out for dinner. We picked those onigiri up at the 7-11 that was conveniently located downstairs of our hotel.
The last day we went to Lotte department store in downtown Busan. It was very nice, there was a musical water fountain thing going on, and we had some supersized Cold Stone ice cream!
Already looking forward to our next vacation 🙂
