Personal Temp/Outfit: Sunny and windy. Polo shirt, shorts, slippers

A very much delayed post….oh well, DAY 8, here it is!
Another delayed picture I ALWAYS wanted to post up, here is the picture of the flight of stairs I take DAILY, to get up to my dorm.

We woke up early to get to a very FAMOUS beach in Busan.

When we finally arrived (it took us at least an hour to get there), we walked a bit and decided to dine at this Chinese restaurant because we are a bit sick of Korean food at the moment.

But guessed what we ordered? JJANGMYUN!
To be strictly speaking, though Jjangmyun is famous in a lot of South Korea TV dramas (like Coffee Prince etc), you can only find them in the CHINESE RESTAUNRANTS.

Watch me devour this delicious dish!

After walking further up, we managed to reach the beach! I think since this is a blog about travelling, there should be some travelling info in some sense (or another).

So here goes:

Haeundae Beach (해운대해수욕장) is probably the most famous beach in the country. "Haeundae" was so named by scholar Choi Chi-Won (857~?) of the Silla Dynasty (BC 57~AD 935). When he was walking past Dongbaekdo Island, he was fascinated by it and left the carved words "Hae Un Dae" on a stone wall on the island. Haeundae is 1.5 km long, 30~50m wide, and spans an area of 58,400㎡. The white sand is rough and sticks easily to your skin. The sand of this beach is composed of sand that comes from Chuncheon Stream and shells that have been naturally eroded by the wind over time. Haeundae Beach is also famous for the various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year. At Haeundae Beach there is a Folk Square where you can enjoy traditional games such as neoldduigi (seesaw jumping), Korean wrestling, tuho(arrow throwing), tug-of-war and yutnori. There is also the Beach Culture Center and the Beach Library. Numerous people visit every year from June to August – Visit Korea.

Anyway…..

It’s freaking big and beautiful! I shall let the pictures do the talking! :)

After a delightful trip at Heundae Beach, we walked into a large shopping department and rest our tired feet at the café which is located beside a HUMONGOUS ice-skating rink! And according to our buddies, this ice-skating rink is considered small. But seriously, it’s even bigger than Kallang’s ice-skating rink!

After resting, we head off to eat at Outbreak Steakhouse – Matthew’s request. I’ve never ate at there before, even though there’s one in Singapore’s Millenia Walk…because the prices there seem hefty (>.<)

But anyway, the food there was quite good! Especially the steak! So soft and tender! More importantly, it really comes as medium-well done, just what we ordered! :)

Well…what can I say about Heundae? To many, it may seem like an ordinary beach. But to a little city girl like me who have only seen small beaches around Singapore, I got to say, Heundae is pretty impressive.
Love it?
I guess I do, in fact, it even make me feel better from my miserable cold that day!
