Just finished another great weekend here in Busan. On Saturday we went to Nampo-dong, a HUGE outdoor shopping area about 30 minutes from home. This is not fancy department store shopping, but rather a large street market district where you can find anything and everything. I'm not sure how big the whole area is, but I think you could get lost for days in it (at least I could!)
We mostly did souvenir/Christmas shopping, and got some really beautiful pottery pieces. There seems to be a "department" for everything you can imagine. We turned one corner and found three blocks of nothing but lighting fixtures and lamps. Turn another corner and the streets are lined with men's clothing and accessories. There's also a furniture section, and sections for children's clothes, cooking and housewares, electronics - you name it. It's a great place to spend the day!
On Sunday we took a cable car up a nearby mountain for a truly spectacular view of Busan. You can almost see all the millions of people in the city from the top. The mountain park also featured a small amusement park with a carousel, swings and snacks and toys for the kids. More photos
The next few weekends are going to be busy too. Next weekend is an annual fireworks festival at the beach. Bob was so excited that we postponed our trip to Seoul so we wouldn't miss the show. We'll be heading to Seoul the week after that, October 30-31. Photos and details of all that to come!
