First Stop: Busan Aquarium

Our first stop was Busan Aquarium. I can’t wait to see their aquarium because I want to compare the one in Singapore. I was surprised that Busan Aquarium is bigger than in Singapore. They have more different under water species

.  

Information
  
The Busan Aquarium contains over 35,000 species of fish, algae, reptiles, and amphibians. This state-of-the-art facility is one of Korea’s top aquariums. The aquarium covers an area of 36,000 m2 and is spread over 3 underground levels and features an outdoor park. On the first underground level is a souvenir shop and several places to eat, while the B2 and B3 levels showcase the various exhibits. The third underground level boasts an 80m main (seabed) tunnel. The tunnel experience resembles a walk along the ocean floor with various sea creatures swimming above. This is a very popular area of the aquarium and is sure to amaze visitors. The simulator also stimulates the imagination and provides a unique feeling of life on the ocean floor.

South Korea-Busan Tour

My mom and I love to travel. Our next destination was Busan in South Korea. We flew with Cebu Pacific Air. Cebu Pacific Air offers low fare for its destination. Our trip cost Php 3,000 only. Very cheap! HAHAHA!...Check their low fares here.

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea. The city is famous for its seafood and beaches. Honestly, I don't have any idea about the city. All I know is they have a cool weather which is I like. We took the city tour bus which you can travel the city in just one ticket.

It costs Php 450 or 10,000 won

You can use this in Haeundae and Taejongdae Tour in just one ticket.Very Affordable, right?

 The bus has a LCD TV gives the tourist information. Sosyal! HAHAHA!



I was able to take a picture in the bus with umbrella. It's raining that time. Wrong timing."]

Busan City Tour Bus is convenient and hassle free for the tourist like me because you don't need to take a taxi which is too much expensive for you to see the city. This bus will take you to the tourist destination in Busan. You can continue to travelling in Busan by taking the next bus after your sightseeing.










They have scheduled time when the bus will arrived to pick you up and transfer you to the next destination. I was surprised  that they are "on time". I remembered there was a time we missed the next bus, we are running and trying to make "para" just to make the bus stopped. Sadly, we missed the bus and wait for the next bus to arrived.

More pictures about our tour on my next blog.  Hope you like it.
