After Checking into our hotel the first spot he ventured out to in Busan is it's famous fish market. This market had it ALL iin terms of seafood. They had all kinds of fish, eels, crabs, crustaceans, shell fish, sharks, rays, sea squirts, sea cucumbers, octopus, squid, etc. The first floor is where you go ahead and buy the critters and you can have them prepared upstairs in the dining hall. We did a good amount of walking around before heading upstairs for food since there was lots to see.
When we did finally ead upstairs we ran into a ery eccentric food shop owner named Jackie. His english was good and his food shop was good enough to land him on TV so it seemed like we were in for a treat. We weren't too hungry so we decided to play it safe and just order a serving of eel. The eel was fluffy and well seasoned and it was just the right amount to do us good until later that night. We witnessed a "Soju parade" while we were eating. It was about 30-40 people walking in single file with Soju shirts and electrical signs advertising the famous drink of choice.
Some walking around took place after dinner and it lead us to a long set of 4 escalators upto a temple and tower. It was about 11PM but the locals still trickled in to walk their dogs or just spend some time outside. There was nice little love chair that got us in the cozy spirit for a group shot.
Our spirits were up and anticipation for a good night took over so we went on the hunt for some good watering holes.
