Day 2 - 13th April 2018
Busan
Al-Fatah Masjid, Nampo-Dong Street, Yongdusan Park, Busan Tower, Lotte Deparmental Store
Dusil Station
Tips 5: In Korea, it's always easy to find Halal food whenever there is a mosque around.
We headed to Dusil station, Exit 8 and visited Busan Al-Fatah Masjid. Haiz! Teringat Fatah Amin. K k k k. Lol!
I was looking at how beautiful the mosque is, still amazed that wherever we are, there are always Muslim people around all over the world. Alhamdulilah! We met with a Korean Muslim who just finished his Friday prayers. He talked to us and asked where we were from. Told him we were from Singapore and he said he have been to Singapore once. He told us that Level 2 of the mosque is for man and Level 3 is for woman and showed us where we can do my wudhu to do our solat.
We were spoil for choices since there is 2 places for us to have lunch at. Either at Morocco Casablanca Restaurant Halal Food or Cappodocia, but since Morocco Casablanca was at level 2 and I was afraid that place is full, since we cannot see, we decided to settle for Cappodocia.
Morocco Casablanca Restaurant Halal Food
Cappodocia
- Good food! I read reviews and people recommended the Chicken Kebab which i tried and then D bought the Dana Guvec. It Cappodociawas soooo nice and I would recommend that dish!
Our Green Apple Tea & Turkish Apple Tea. Hehe!
Cappodocia Turkish Kebap House
30-1 Namsan-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, South Korea

Nampo-Dong Street
After feeling full, we headed off to Nampo-Dong Street. Alight at Nampo-Station, Exit 1. They sell jackets, sweater for just 3900 Won which is about SGD4. So cheap! I bought one jacket for myself. Hehe!

And of course to give this 2 places a visit since this is what everyone go to when they visit Busan. But honestly, to me there is nothing much to do there just for sight-seeing purposes and for experience sake. The weather was cold and the higher we go, the colder it felt. Hurhur! But nothing beats the cold weather when I get to see a first-hand up close view of cherry blossom!
Since there isn't anything much to do. D and I bought the heart & lock thingy which is very popular in Korea. I know it's haram, when my brother saw us doing it he was so quick to judge but we were doing it for fun sake and after watching A Korean Odyssey drama, I also want to feeling-feeling Son Oh Gong & Jin Sun Mi. Hahahahaha!
So if you see this in Busan, South Korea, that's ours. Hahaha!
After locking our heart, lol! We collected our tickets from the counter and head up to Busan Tower.
It cost us 1,500 Won each.
The view from Busan Tower
Souvenirs. Hehe!
There are like 5 levels if I'm not wrong in Busan Tower, as you go down, you'll get to see different "exhibits" at different level.
At the end of our Busan Tower tour, of course not forgetting to take picture here..
We continued walking around Nampo-dong again and this time I bought 2 lipsticks.
BIFF Square
We even headed to BIFF Square, sadly, nothing much here probably because it's a Friday and not the weekends? I read up there is a Halal Mee Goreng stall here but we couldn't find any here. And yes yes, I saw a Monkey
Lotte Departmental Mall
This isn't part of our itinerary. Lol! But since the place was nearby, I decided to ask D to drop by and see what's inside. Basically it's just a normal mall but interesting to see different malls over the world. But by then, D and I were tired and our body were aching from too much walking. Thus, we decided to sit down and feeling-feeling atas while we had coffee at - Cafe The Med.
My White Mocha Coffee & D's Caramel Macchiato.
We walked around and bumped into Toys R Us and bought Shayleen her favourite Tayo Tayo toys. Hehe! Definitely cheaper here compared to the ones in Singapore.
Bought this for my bestie's daughter, Shayleen because she loves Tayo tayo bus. Hehe!
D bought for his sister this too.
Day 3 - 14th April 2018
Busan - Busan Sea Life Aquarium
Day 3 was a bit disappointed for us. 😢 We woke up feeling excited to conquer our next adventure was sadly, it was raining super super heavily. Literally raining cats & dogs. Haiz!
We were supposed to head to Gamcheon Culture Village but couldn't even make it to walk to the Subway station because there was just no shelter to the Subway station around and plus we were already soaking wet. And even if cab to Gamcheon, it's no use as well because the place is not sheltered and it will still be a wasted trip because we can't take pictures in raining weather. 😢
We didn't had umbrella as well and so we had to BUY an umbrella ella ella eh eh eh there that cost $16 each.
We decided to give Gamcheon Culture Village a miss since we didn't pay anything for that but still had to proceed for our pre-bought activities to Busan Sea Life Aquarium from Klook. And now we realized, the disadvantages if you buy anything in advance, it's hard to cancel the activities if by any chance you cannot make it, thus end up having to burn the tickets just like that. But luckily, Busan Sea Life Aquarium was in Haeundae station itself, a few kilometres walk down from our apartment. So we decided to just proceed and go ahead.By the time we reached Busan Sea Life Aquarium, we felt super uncomfortable because our whole pants, shoes and socks were SOAKING wet. Kinda spoil my mood and I felt even extra cold when I was there.

We had lunch at Namaste. We had other choices to choose from but Nameaste was the nearest eatery to eat because it was raining. If you miss having Indian food, this place is definitely worth to visit. Nice ambiance and they had Bollywood songs being played at the background too. Hehe!

Despite taking our own sweet time for lunch, it was still raining outside when we're done. I thought we could make our way to Gamcheon Culture Village but it was already almost 4.30pm and I think that place closes at 6pm if I'm not wrong. D wanted some hot coffee (we were feeling cold due to the rain) and Hajar recommended us Hollys Coffee saying their coffee is all nice. Since there was Hollys Coffee nearby, we walked over for some hot drinks. D decided to settle for the Hot Chocolate instead and I tried their Real Belgian Chocolate. Omo! The Hot chocolate was really nice!! The Belgian Chocolate was nice too, but it was a bit too bitter sweet for my liking.
Then somehow it stopped raining. I was so excited and I told D to quickly make our way to Haeundae beach which was just across. We managed to take some pictures at the beach before it starts to pour heavily again.
We actually wanted to head to Busan station or make way to Gwangalli for sunset and to see the Gwangandaegyo bridge but to no avail.I even thought of going back to our apartment first and head out at 7.30pm in the evening but I forget it because D was sick, he was having a running nose and have been sneezing non-stop. The weather temperature dropped from 14 degrees to a colder 11 degrees and plus we're soaking wet too, it was so so freezing cold.
We went back to our apartment and I contracted his sickness. I'm easily contagious like that. I felt truly unwell and out of breath again just like the first day when we wanted to board the flight. Haizzz! Hate it when this happen. D tried to nurse me till I fall asleep and so did he after that. We decided to not head anywhere anymore but to rest and recuperate while incubating ourselves inside our warm room.
Hoping tomorrow will be a much better day for us.
XOXO,
Princess Azie Anni ♥
