Ramen!!!!! OMG Really Good

Because I was sick all day and stayed in bed...I finally got the energy to get some dinner :) and it was gooooood
And it wasn't just me...My fellow travellers said that it was their best also. They had been eating ramen for over two weeks. And this was a highlight.
The pork was just so tender and juicy! Wish i wasn't sick and could eat more

Typical entrance to a Japanese restaurant.
I want some of them curtains for my door.

My stay at http://www.khaosan-fukuoka.com/ in Fukuoka.

I liked it...Shared a room with 4 people..
Plenty of space...very clean
About 10-15min from Hakata JR Station.


















1st dinner in Japan = Chicken bones + Gyoza

First dinner in Japan :) Was looking forward to a hearty meal...But no english menu...Fail...
But I don't mind that is normal. So I ordered with little Japanese i know and by pictures.
But! What I thought was chicken Katsu was actually deep friend chicken white bones...Really nice but not a real meal. But lucky i got gyoza :D and fried rice. The rice was really really good :)







Sapporo beer :) and my chicken white bone

JR Beetle!!! Busan > Hakata/Fukuoka

Very easy way to get to Japan :) I really enjoyed the ride. I think it was about $100US.
It takes 2hour and 55min. I brought some kimbap onboard and purchased my first Japanese beer! Kirin
Leaves Busan Internation Ferry port and arrives Hakata Ferry Port.
Please take 11, 19 or 50 bus to Hakata Station. This is JR Station and has local subway. From here you can go anywhere :)







Leaving Korean Waters :(









Ample space :) and they said the boat was full and giving me trouble about getting a ticket on the boat.
I booked direct and Kobee Korea.
Japan JR website wasn't working @_@






The shores of Japan (Fukuoka). Yay!

The famous bridge of Busan - Gwangan Daegyo

Looks like a famous place for couples and friends.
At the right time of year they have fireworks from the bridge.
Nice work down the cafe strip.

You can buy fireworks to play around with on the street.















Below is the view from my hotel..Apparently one of the oldest hotels in Busan :)
Very cheap
EJ made some street candy (the man melt fairy floss sugar) and you make shapes then eat it...
Its like eating raw sugar!






















<- Candy



$60 dinner! 3ppl! +10 courses! Amazing

UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Went to a Japanese restaurant in Busan.  Really didn't look like much.  But I must say the food blew away other sashimi and Nigiri I tried on my travels.
So fresh the taste!  The assortment of unusual and crazy creatures...sea squirts, and sea cucumbers to WHALE @_@
And other white meat fish I have never tried :)
Busan is famous for their seafood being so close to the ocean.  Fresh, cheap and plentiful.
The price I can still not forget. $60 for a feast and alcohol.

Busan Tour Bus P2

Some photos out of the Busan City Bus tour window.
This is the famous bridge in Busan. I believe it is called Gwangan bridge and Haeundae beach?
Very pretty spot at night time :)
Good stroll, lots of cafe and bars.  Street stalls and beautiful bridge lights.
You can take the subway.  From the subway its about 15minute walk







Busan/Pusan is a booming city I think.  The buildings are massive!









The Busan Aquarium is located by Haeundae Beach. It is the biggest aquarium in Korea and enables visitors to experience the underwater world at very close quarters.

Famous aquarium in Busan.  No I didn't go :(
Because i really wanted to see the big one in Japan. Which i didn't see because i was to busy :(
However I did see a movie with EJ in Busan.  127 hours.  Pretty cool!
