Seomyeon


Seomyeon is the downtown area of Busan. Here you can find shopping, restaurants, bars, casinos, and anything else you could imagine. There are signs everywhere of places competing for your attention. The narrow streets in this area are crowded and lively.




Mmmm... squid snacks! Get your squid snacks!

Check out more picture of the Seomyeon streets and the crazy arcade there by clicking here.

Jagalchi Fish Market

One of the most unique things I have found in Busan is the Jagalchi fish market.

Here you can see all kinds of fresh sea food (sometimes still moving) that you can buy moments from coming off the boats. You can see giant octopuses, a wide variety if fish and other interesting sea creatures that you can eat on the spot, even raw if you wish. The women working at the countless boots are what really create the atmosphere at the market. They look thought and will grab at you aggressively to come buy some of their fish. They are harmless of course and are actually quite nice. You can tell they work really hard and they spend all their days selling fish here, rain or shine.

I've eaten some raw fish at the market before and enjoyed the experience. We picked a fish from a tank, the chef cut it up, and we were eating it within the minute. They served the pile of raw fish with nothing more than a plate of leaves and some soju. Definitely not the most delicious thing I ever ate.

Jagalchi is the largest fish market in Korea, and definitely something to see if you're in Busan.
