Travel to Busan

Well, this time I will share how I spent my holiday at this semester break. But before that, let's take a look back about what I did at last semester break. That time I spent my holiday in front of my computer (to code) until I forgot anything. Almost one week I always stayed in my dorm and when I went outside suddenly Daejeon felt like zombie town. 

"What did I miss? Why is it so silent? Was there zombie attack? Am I the survivor?"

Wait... It's Sunday. No one at school at Sunday. You are too much watching movie, Fifa!!!

See?

I was almost crazy because of always staying in room for almost one week in a row.

That's why this semester break, I'm trying to not even touch programming world, since I will not able to stop once I started. And I decided to go to Busaaaan!!!! Yeay!!!

I love Busan

I've already told my Professor about my plan to Busan so I can visit my future lab, I've already told my Indonesian friends in Busan so they can arranged my itinerary, and I have even arranged the place to sleep (in my sister lab. Haha). But you know what? I almost cancel it.

This semester break I pulled out my wisdom teeth which made my face swollen, can not talk properly, can not eat normally, and anything. I actually should take a rest for one week because of that.

But yeah! I didn't listen the doctor and just went to Busan. 

I arrived Busan around 10 pm at Feb 22nd 2018, so I decided to directly sleep in my friend, Putri. Putri is a freshmen in PNU and will be in a same lab with me later. Anyway, because she has just came from Indonesia, she directly provided me Indonesian food upon my arrival. I couldn't deny and ignored my wisdom teeth problem. Haha. Thanks Putri.

The next day, I came to my lab to meet my Prof. I knew him even before I applied KGSP. I have met him in Indonesia once. All these time, I have a lot of chat through Kakao Talk with him already. So I was so excited!!! He brought me around the lab and introduced me to all lab members.

Oh ya.. that day, there was graduation ceremony too in PNU, which is good news because I can see directly how is the graduation euphoria in there, but also bad news because the friends that I pointed to be my guide tour (haha) have to visit their friend's graduation.

So, after meeting my Prof, I just joined Gifari to go to Beomoesa Temple. Gifari is actually from Cheonan. He was also traveling to Busan like me. In the evening he had to go back to his city, so we only visit Beomoesa in a few minutes. But, fortunately Beomoesa is really nice. On the way to the temple, we didn't hike so much (which is I like it. haha), and the view beside it is like a forest in Harry Potter movie. So nice! From the temple we can also see other mountain hills clearly, like we are in the top of sky. Amazing!

The next day... as I trusted my travel itinerary to these Busan people, Edi and Genio. I ended up visiting Megabox watching Black Panther.  ---___--- Come on?! Daejeon also has Megabox! Haha

But, It's ok. I like watching movie anyway. Hahaha. Shall I give review of this movie in here too? haha.

After watching movie, Edi, Genio, Yani, and I visited Busan Tower. First time seeing this place, it reminds me of Namsan Tower in Seoul. We can also hang "lock" in here. The good thing also we can see city view from here, which I think will be more amazing at night.

After that, we went to Songdo Beach. This place is also really nice. Not just only because the landscape which is (of course) really wonderful, but.. in here we can play with birds like in Nemo movie. Hahaha. like giving them food while imagining them saying "mine! mine! mine!" (in hangugo). Hahha. Oh ya, there is cable car also here, and something like sky walk (I think 0.0'a).

Do you see the cable car?

Eating ice cream in the beach is kind of relaxing.
Btw, they still blame me for choosing green tea ice cream -_- Come on?! It's green!!

just shoes -_-

"mine! mine! mine! mine!"

The next day, Edi and I visited Oryukdo Skywalk. Here we walked in the transparent floor with cliff and sea view under our feet. But, not as I imagent... the track is so sort, so I think is not challenging enough. Hehe. Maybe because I have also visited Janghang skywalk in Seochon which is more challenging and able to make my knee shaking. But from here, we can see sea view from the hill which is also really nice.

In the Afternoon, we went to Gamcheon Culture Village. I said it's like Kampung Pelangi in my city Semarang, but Edi said it's like Kampung Jodipan in his city Malang. So, yeah! this kind of thing is not new for us. But after I visited it directly, I think it's not that bad. Instead, it is really great. I think Gamcheon Culture Village is more organized and well-prepared to be international tourist place. In the corners of this village, there are some info about the culture, museum, souvenir shops, photo spots, etc. So yeah, Semarang should learn from it I think.

Cotton Candy!!!

At the evening, we went to Dadaepo beach. We planned to see sunset since Edi has ever captured a really good sunset view in here. Unfortunately, the sky was not in a good mood that time. It's cloudy. Well, mission failed. Haha. So we just walked around the beach then played stone skipping. Well, we can predict the result of course. I am really zero in stone skipping, not like Edi. -_-

So yeah, those all the places that I visited in Busan last time.

I first time went to Busan 5 years ago, when I was exchange student, and this is my story --> click here

Thanks for reading and have a nice day :)
