Busan Day 3

March 21, 2012

Happy Birthday to me!


Lunch at Fuzzy Navel @ Haeundae
It was a late start for us today. KK slept in since she didn't get to bed until midnight last night.
We hopped in the subway and road over to Haeundae. We stopped at Fuzzy Navel for some texmex. Yes, texmex. Lol! I have to admit that it hey served some really good chimis! After lunch, we walked over to Haeundae Beach and walked around. I think because we've been to so many nice beaches and growing up in California that it really didn't impress me at all. They had the Busan Aquarium there too. Kevin spotted the Paradise Hotel &Casino. It's the only casino in the area. Kevin is gambling my shopping money right now. Double it baby! Momma can buy that Chanel bag she was eyeing. Lol! Figured Kevin can look around while KK And I can spend some time looking at the shops. Eh, instead I'm blogging and resting my feet for more walking when we arrive in Centum City for shopping!!

We hop back on the subway and two stops over we arrive at Centum City. It's the Largest Department Store in the world. It's huge! Its a beautiful shopping mall with 14 stories (that's what KK was telling us). There is a whole floor that sells only foods, sweets and wine! That's my kind of store!!! Honestly, this place is made for the rich. They sell products that are more that double the regular US price! For Korea, that's super expensive! I walked around shopping alone while Kevin took the kid for a smoothie and to check out the indoor ice skating rink. I met up with them later and hung out a bit. We walked around a bit and decided to go back to the hotel to rest so we can go back out to Biff Square for me to shop at the Fashion District before we leave.

Korean spicy rice cake: Ddukbokkie


At the hotel, the kids clown around while I try to look up the medication we bought at the pharmacies for seasickness. everything is written in Korean, so we need to double check if it is what they say it is especially if the little one was taking it too.

We head out to Biff Square to check out all the food stands. KK wanted the candied strawberries, but the lady wasn't there. How sad. They were yummy. The kids got waffles, BBQ chicken in a stick and I got the Korean rice cake things cooked in spices? If anyone knows what they ate called, please let me know. I always see people eating it in Korean Dramas, so I had to try it. It was pretty good! Not what I had expected by looking at it. The lady gave a lot in a bowl and it really filled me up. KK wanted to try, so she took a bite and enjoyed it. She said "look mommy, I'm double fisting! I have waffles in one hand and Korean rice cake in the other!" ah, this is my kid. Haha!!! Kevin wanders around for more food. After a bit we went to the shopping section for me to check out all the beauty stores I wanted to check out. First stop was Holika Holika. I love their products and even better that one of my favorite bands, CNBLUE, is the endorser. I buy a few things and checked out all the different face masks too. I like how they give you free samples(but they are normal sized) products. The gal threw in a picture of CNBLUE for me too. How cute. KK was laughing. I was happy. Next door was TONY MOLY. They also have many products that I like. I bought a cute lip balm set there and of course more face masks along with other things. As I was looking, the gals were showing KK products too. Lol! They were grooming her hair and spraying stuff. In the end, I have to admit she smelled really good. I almost turned back to buy whatever they used on her! Off to ITS SKIN and THE FACE SHOP for more masks and facial products. I ended my beauty spree with ÉTUDE HOUSE. They have the pretty and cute products. I almost wished I was a bit fairer in color to sport all the pinks and peach colors. The "pretty and cute" girls would totally live these products. If you seen 2NE1's Dara's commercials for ÉTUDE HOUSE , you can see it's cutesy. I think I bought makeup remover from every shop. I haven't tried them all yet, but so far none has beaten my favorite Shiseido ELIXIR Lifting Make Off Ex Oil I bought in Japan. We will see how the others turn out.

At this point, I'm high as a kite being able to go shopping. I have to admit that it's so affordable!!! Especially coming from Japan! After shopping, Kevin is hungry. We grab a burger and hailed a taxi to head back to the hotel. We have to be up super early to catch the stupid ferry.

Time to pack!
