Busan

Last Sunday, Yoo (T's officemate) invited us for a ride from Ulsan to Busan. Comparing to bus, it took us a little less than hour to get there. It was actually a double date to watch a baseball game between Busan Lotte Giants and some-team-from-Seoul. Upon arriving Busan around 2:30pm, too early for 5:00pm game, we suggested Yoo to drop us at some place to 'cool' us down while he go fetch his gf. To our surprise, Shinsegae is located right beside Lotte (where Yoo dropped us). The former takes pride as the biggest department store in the world. We've since wanted to check it out after having seen it on National Geographic's Mega Structures episode. 

We watched the games and I, having little knowledge as to baseball rules, enjoyed it in spite of the hot humid weather.

Before the game ended (the Giants won), we left and Yoo drove us to the mountain. No kidding. Yoo took us to the beacon mound of Mt. Hwangnyeong. Amazing place and allows one to view Busan at 360deg panorama.
