I'm Back...with Gwanganli Beach in Busan

Man...this blogging thing is hard to maintain. I've done so much since my last post, I don't even know where to start. Well, at least this is a start??
For the summer of 2010, I've done few mini trips, to Busan, Gwangwondo, and Hapchon. I'll post some great eats I had in Busan near Gwang-an-li Beach. Gwanganli is a famous beach in Busan, smaller but glitzier version of Haeundae. With a long bridge running across the ocean, you see bright neon signs flashing everywhere with much younger and diverse crowd than any other place in Busan. Foodwise, raw fish (sashimi) was a little more expensive than Haeundae and Jagalchi, but the view from the restaurant overlooking the beach was definitely worth the money.
광어회= flatfish, halibut, not sure which one is right one but 광어(kwang-uh) is definitely the most popular raw fish amongst Koreans.

줄돔= boarfish. Was told this was the must-eat fish in Busan and it was indeed tasty.



Busan is also famous for Beef or Pork soups with rice, called kukbap. We had beef soup at the restaurant where the movie Haeundae was filmed.
