An amazing bite in Busan colored with cherry blossom

 What kind of words occur to you when you heard the word 'spring'? Probably you guys will think 'cherry blossom', 'flower viewing' ... ect. Also there is a song always makes an appearance again. That is, '벚꽃엔딩 (The end of cherry blossoms)'. As you can see, many people think cherry blossoms let us think about spring. That's why there are many festival about cherry blossoms. In Busan's Oncheoncheon, the famous citizen park, the festival is held on April. Aren't you excited when heard the word 'festival'?

 I went there three times to introduce this festival. This festival was held on April 1st to third. In this period, there are lots of events regardless of day and night. You can find that when ever you go there, people come to festival constantly. It means that it's proper for family's excursion and couple's date course. You can enjoy various things here, I want to have a time to introduce some of them.

 First of all, you can experience reminiscences that existed a lot in the past. '달고나(dalgina ; the snack that we can make by melting sugar in ladle and after some steps, pouring in plate and hacking it away with various molds.)', '뽑기(bbopgi ; yellow, that have many shapes)'  is representative. I have a memory that a woman selling this two snacks in front of school when I was in elementry school. In the case of dalgona, if you success in keeping the shape after piercing the line of the shape, they will give you one more chance to do it for free or give you one more dalgona. Bbopgi is the game that you randomly place four sticks which have many names of shapes on it on the board. On that board, numbers are written on it. Then you should do drawing lots, and they will give you that shape of candy which is on the number you pick. It may be difficult for you to gain '왕잉어(King carp)', the first prize. Me, also visited festival and did 'Bbopgi', I got chicken shaped one. It will be extremely amusing memory.

 Second, yu can experience lots of food. We can classify Oncheoncheon festivals's food in two. One is snack that sells in kiosk when you walk the park. In there, you can enjoy hotdog, Fish cake bar, Cotton candy, Coke&Chicken... etc. You can see people commomly grasp one in their hand because we can easily think of food when we think about festival. The other is the place like cart bar. You can have eating pajeon, meat, alcohol there, sitting on chair. Also there is an advantage that you can experience that eatery's food nearby because many of cart bars are prepared by real eateries.

 Third, you can do many activities. This activity booth doesn't run at night, but of you visit in daytime, you can do a lot such as a folk game, bread making, socks craft. It has an merit that you can do activity to your preference. This is because various activity booths stand in a row. So I recommend you to come in daytime and do it!

 Lastly, you can meet Oncheoncheon decorated beautifully. You can see cherry blossoms in full bloom and it is another charm to appreciate colourful lights starting in the afternoon. Especially. if you visit at night, you can find lights and structures glittering in various colors.

 Like this, you can face lots of enjoyments in here. Why don't you visit Oncheoncheon cherry blossom festival with preious people getting away from busy life for a while? The amazing bite will wait you here! 

Baseball Cheering Culture in Busan

Cheering Culture of Busan Baseball

           Have you ever heard of the cheering culture of baseball in Busan? Cheering culture is common since it can be seen in any baseball games. However when you get to know about the unique ways that Busan citizens use to cheer in baseball, you will become interested in it. It can be sorted into mainly three groups; food, words, and tools.

           First of all, although there are numerous food Busan citizens eat while cheering, chicken is the best among them all. It isn’t that there are specific rules of what food to eat while watching a game. However, chicken is considered to be the typical food for baseball that is easy to buy, and easy to eat. Watching baseball becomes extra fun when you watch it while eating chicken with beer.

           Secondly, you can enjoy a lot of special cheering acts. What people from outside of Busan finds most interesting is shouting “Ma!” during the game. This word is part of Busan dialect and therefore, exists only in Busan. It can be used in various situations, but while watching baseball, the meaning becomes accusatory and close to the meaning, “what the heck”. Isn’t it fun to know how sentences can be compressed into a single word?

           Lastly, there are unique cheering tools in Busan’s baseball. At around eighth inning, people starts handing out orange colored plastic bags, that can be turned into a cheering costume. You could tie it around you head, shaped like a round ball, or wear it around your arms. When the game is finished, the plastic bags could also be used as garbage bag for people to clean up their own mess.

           How about coming to watch baseball in Busan this summer? You could experience the city’s unique cheering culture along with indescribable excitement! There are many more exciting things waiting for you in Sajik Stadium that we did not have the chance to mention. How about experiencing the exhilarating atmosphere of baseball in person?

 

Busan Cinema Center

I would first like to introduce myself as a Korean student currently attending Sajik Girls' High School. I am also the president of a school club, "Creator" where we publish yearly magazine about places worth visiting in Busan. A lot of the club members thought that it would be meaningful to post some of our articles on a website used by foreigners who wish to get information about Korea. I hope you guys find these useful!:)

 

Busan Cinema Center

           There is a building where everyone who had been to Busan International Film Festival, would know. In the center of BIFF, there is Busan Cinema Center. This is the most exquisite building that represents enthusiasm Busan share towards movies.

           Busan Cinema Center was first opened on September 29th, 2011. This center is the world’s first cultural space to provide film, the performing arts, exhibition, and education. Since its opening, there hasn’t been a single day without special events such as musicals, classic films, and movie lectures. For example, on every Wednesday, people can enjoy free movie in an “Outdoor BIFF Theatre”. Also, there are film academy classes where people could get education on films. In addition, as an Asian film archive, Busan Cinema Center owns a place where classical and modern films are being preserved. It is amazing how something new is always waiting for everyone to enjoy every single day.

           Busan Cinema Center is also famous for its artistic architecture design. It has a gigantic roof with the length that is as long as 2.5 times of a soccer field. In fact, this roof is listed in the Guinness Book as the world’s longest cantilever roof. Under this roof, divine LED lightings of different colors and shapes shine every night.

           Busan Cinema Center is divided into mainly 5 large places where people can enjoy films and performances. The first one is “Cinema 1” where you can see top concert films of the century and latest Hollywood hits. The second one is “Cinema 2” which screens popular international movies.

Busan Citizen Park

<Let's go to Busan citizen park>

           Recently, I had a chance to visit 'Busan citizen park'. The facilities of the park were very modern and amazing. The more I spent time in the park, the more I felt love for the place. So when I returned home, I researched to get some further information about this park.

◎History

Most of us would think that there is no history of citizen park since it was built this year, barely few months ago. However, you would be surprised to hear that citizen park in fact, has a long interesting history. When you enter citizen park's website, you will be able to read the following sentence; “100 years of waiting, eternal meeting”. What does this mean?

There are wheels within wheels. During the era of Japanese colonization, these wheels were used in a racecourse. During World War 2, these were used to support Japan's imperial army. Even after Korea gained its independence, the wheels were used by U.S. armed forces stationed in Korea. Finally, the wheels have returned to its true owner, the citizen of Busan in 2010. In other words, the wheel are like the bandage to Korea's wounded history.

◎ Facility

The roads of Busan citizen park are suited for jogging and feels comfortable for the feet. This park also have really nice view with fountains and books, which is why pairs of lovers choose here to have a date. In addition, Busan citizen park provides children's playground and a resting place for families.

1. Music fountain & Sky blue light fountain

I have never seen a fountain more beautiful than these before! When the music fountain is on, ten different songs will play in the fountain. Also, there are various shapes that these water could form into such as a heart, tornado, a circle, or waves. Every night, the rainbow colored fountain gives an exotic atmosphere.

Furthermore, there is a sky blue fountain which too is superb. This fountain is especially dazzling at night, so I would recommend you to come and see this at night with the people you love.

2. Variety of forest

There are many forests in citizen park. Among them are memory forest and peace forest. Walking through these forests would help you refresh your mind and make you feel healthy.

While I stayed in Busan citizen park, I was able to feel the freshness of nature even though I was in the heart of the city. It also helped me to release my stress. Visiting here would be an awesome chance to take a rest and hang out with your friends, family or your lover. Let's go to Busan citizen park! :)

Ebagu road

Ebagu flower bloomed.Seeds that modern history has left today became a road and it bloomed in your side.This is the introduction about the Ebagu road. Isn't it very attractive? We will introduce the road which bloomed with history and modern times.On Cholyang Ebagu road, There is a village which was created by the people who have lived here and worked hard during Korean war and shelter years. The village that is located on the front of the sea and over the mountain seems to start a conversation to a passerby.

Ebagu road is not just a normal road. This is a historical road. Starting at the first place, if you see the old photos which are hung along the Damjang gallery, you can recall the precious memory of the past. Although I haven't experienced that period, I could feel the desire for truce. I think that this is the charm of this road. Also when you feel tired after climbing 168 stairs, you will be able to get Kim min bu observatory. The view that you can see at the observatory will melt your all anxiety. The scenery is beautiful enough to fall in love with Ebagu road. Cheer up and walk a little more, you will finally arrive at Yu chi hwan post box which is the last course of Ebagu road. A letter written here arrives to you a year later. The letter will give you a great chance to make you or everyone around you happy and impressed. Eventually, here the road is over. Like this, Ebagu road is special in many fields in itself.Well, you have studied Ebagu road until now, So shall we figure out the road's special publicity strategies from now on?First. Ebagu bicycle helps us to enjoy comfortable travel.This electronic bicycle can give us a ride to steep hill while we are listening to guide's explanation.Second. Ebagu charging station offers us a cozy place to stay. It is a very popular place for travelers who visit Ebagu road because of cheap accommodation fee.

Third. Mandi bus takes us to many beautiful and unknown tourist attractions in Busan. Unlike traveling many standard travel attractions, Mandi bus tour that travels unknown wonderful attractions gives you unforgettable memory.

Walking slowly step by step will give you a chance to recharge.

Furthermore, a letter written carefully is much better than easily written text messages.If you want to leave unforgettable memory in your heart, how about visiting Ebagu road?

 

 

The Busan film festival

Now shall we leave in earnest in the Busan International Film Festival with colorful scene?Here, you can not only enjoy movies but also meet movie actors appearing in recent flims.In particular, Do not miss chance to meet up actors closely on a widely spread sandy beach, the patagon to BLFF Villiage. Moreover, you can spend a quality time while waiting for a movie by participating many booths related to a lot of movies. It is actor's great Red Carpet that is indispensable in film festival. Busan International Film Festival has so long history that many actors visit the festival, especially I can give you tips to know that most actors are coming to the opening and closing ceremonies. Film actors , as well as movies that have stand out cinematic quality will be screened a lot in particular, iut would be good for you to know that,during the festival,it also has an outdoor theatr as well as inside the cinema. After enjoying the fiery Fim festival, don't you find the place where you can have a walk with the ocean breezes of autumn and a cup of coffee? Then I will immediately recommend to the streets of the film without hesitation. This place is really fit to walk because it's not too far from the movie Fame and where festivals are held. Thinking that the festival is held only in the movie Fame throws away. Streets of the movie does as much as the heat of the festivals. This is, during festive period as well as usual,popular place to many tourists because it has many movie's posters and explanation attached to the walls and pretty sculptures so it is the best place to take pictures. This streets is seperated into many zone, animation zone and Haeundae background's zone. In particular, as I walk on the zone of ten million audience movie I felt that my country really have so many blockbuster in once again. It will be good memory to rest on the bench admiring the scenery of Haeundae beach as the way is longer than thought. The last of Movie Street takes us to the santorini square. This is one of exotic places among high skysrapers as a motive of Santorini in Greece. Also, you can appreciate hand printing of several famous actors and directors in here. Watching movies that run along the streets, you can talk with your friends about movie,Is here that an earthly? Until now, we looked at all things around to see as well as Busan International Film Festival, Is it useful to you? It you want to have special experience in lonely autumn, come to the site of BIFF that is famous for great actors,great ocean,and great night view. Right now! 

The history of Dongnae Spa

We will introduce On jeong Gegun Memorial Stone to you which is located beside open-air foot bath. It was built for commemorating Gang phil li, Dongnae Magistrate, who fixed old building of hot spring just before he finished his term in office. According to epitaph, people made two baths by using stones, and after that, Gang phil li starting for his new post as Dongnae Magistrate rebuilt it, with men's bath and women,s bath made a division by partitions. It was also said that such structures were so glossy and fresh like pheasants fly in the sky.

We should not forget to talk about Dongnae villa. In 1898, Making lease contract on Dongnae hot spring between Chosun and Japan occured. This led to open large-scale villa called Bong Nae Gwan casused by Yatshusi, japanese privte bath-cum-villa. In those days of Japanese occupation, Dongnae villa was named 'Hazama Yugen' possessed by Hazama Husitaro, top3 wealthy people in Busan. However, this building acted and during Korean war it was used as an official residence of vice present. Only 1965, it was called 'Dongnae villa' turning to High class-Korean style restaurant. For such a reason as mentioned, Dongnae villa contains Busan's painful modern history.
