Mission completed
Busan Chinatown and Lotte store roof
I set myself 2 missions to complete in Busan during my previous diatribes and tonight I completed both.
1. Photograph the Hotel cat, completed. He was just sitting in the street, in front of the main door, watching everyone go buy.
2. Capture the view from the Lotte store roof, although it was not dark, but I think they shut it off at 8, so not much I can do about that. Great view though!
I also walked back to the main Busan station, which was really not as far as I thought, and then discovered Chinatown and Texas town over the road. That was quite an interesting combination.
I also did a tour of a few different markets, a sewer, everything.
There are a lot of photos for an evening post so lets get into it.
Hotel cat, in all his glory! AT LAST!
Now for some market shots, here is an alleyway full of neon lights.
And a food alley, looks good in the fading light.
Next up, Chinatown, quite a large one too.
This is one of those optical illusion things where if you take a photo in the right spot it looks very 3d. I photographed the photographer.
Korea has no concerns about educating Koreans about Chinese war heroes. I doubt there is a similar mural of Tojo.
LITERALLY across the street from Chinatown is Texas Street. Everything in Texas Street was closed.
I have no idea. Wait yes I do, they are all buoys.
The local sewer street. It smelled like a sewer.
Tonight's shot staring into the sun. Most of the cloud was gone now.
I had traditional Korean poor person food from the local market, gimbap and tofu stew. Very good.
Now for the Lotte Department Store roof. The roof garden is very large.
The deck above the garden is also enormous and I had it all to myself. I hung a moon.
More roof garden before we get into the view. That enclosed grass area is a dog park. There is a doggy day care / dog grooming salon alongside it.
Here is the view back towards my hotel and the fish markets.
That is the island I went to yesterday.
And finally, the view in the other direction back to where I was earlier today. I think I climbed all the mountains in the above 3 photos.
Tomorrow I go to Yeosu. I have not been there before. It is a small place, 5 hours away on the slow train.
