It is nightfall when I reach Busan. The slow-ish express train from Gyeongju takes 2 hours, passing through the industrial city of Ulsan, and a city called Hyaeundae (Hyundai?).
At night Busan looks dynamic, lively and colourful. The plaza in front of the glassy Busan Train Station is alive with buskers, stalls, and crowds. The nearest to the KL teh tarik culture can be seen here - a stall selling drinks with stools and small tables, set up just next to the station entrance. Other faves are roasted corn, roasted squid/octopus (which the Koreans like to munch as snacks) and some other roasted stuff which I can't quite recognise.
I quickly check into my hotel, located just next to the Busan station, for US$50 a night. Another old but comfy hotel with the usual amenities, including countless cable tv channels - one showing 24/7 pr0n and another showing 24/7 fishing! After refreshing myself, I go out for an evening moon-lit and neon-lit walk.
