Known for holding the world's largest department store in the world and many beaches, Busan is a great place to visit and feels like an entirely different place compared to Seoul. Home to more than 3 million people, the people in Busan speak with an accent that is slightly different from the standardized Korean. It is very similar to comparing a person from England and a person from USA. While in Busan, I was able to eat lots and lots of delicious food. I was even able to visit the famous department store which currently holds the record for being the largest in the world. Carrying over 10 floors, this department store has a golfing range, and ice rink, and a sauna, which is pretty amazing for any department store to be holding. That's not all, they even have a movie theater located on the 9th floor. One of the best parts about this trip was being able to visit the beach and just hang out with friends. Hearing the ocean waves and the smell of salt water really reminded me of home and about the journey I took to get here. As a boy from Hawaii, the beach was nowhere nice as the beaches that I was used to but it was still a great place with a beautiful view of the city. I am definitely planning to try to visit this place one more time before I leave.
