It was cloudy when I landed and started to rain when I got out of the airport. It only rained for a couple of hours, but it was good because I guess it washed a lot of the dust away.
View from hotel balcony. Nice hotel, great breakfast. Really good food so I filled up for the day every morning. Nice warm vacation from cold Pusan.
Second glass of watermelon juice for the trip. I miss Irvine sometimes, need larger glasses in Asia. They fresh squeeze it here, so it's good.
Hope you can read the freeway sign. They separate cars in lanes according to size. Like Chinese drivers will listen and give a damn, everybody goes anywhere they please.
Little christmas cookie and ginger bread house outside hotel lobby.
The breakfast was pretty decent. We were up and eating by 7am so nice to get some grub before the day.
Asian/ Chinese breakfast section. Some dim sum, congee, egg station next to it (not pictured)
Some more breakfast foods. It was on the second highest floor, so it had a nice view.
Ate at this Shanghainese restaurant.
Food is awesome. Personal rice basket.
Sooo good.
They cook this meat and vegetable dish outside your room in oil. Nice little show.
Pretty much best Chinese food I have had.
Ever! Shanghai food is good. Plus we had wine. All good!!
Cool thing about Shanghai is the blend of old european style buildings and the super new high rises.
View from my room in Shanghai hotel. Soviet era museum building across the street.
Nice rooms at the Ritz Carlton. The bed was uber comfortable.
Nice bathroom too.
Art piece at the museum. You get a magnifying glass and the little sculptures are visible.
Nice wooden art piece in the museum. It was a good day to go since it was a free day.
Outside museum.
Nice view of Busan from top of a mountain. Went with some coworkers from Taiwan.
Just some photos of shopping near Busan University. It was pretty darn cold that night.
Cool business in a wooden box. Guess you can just wheel it around and open shop.
Crazy big fish tank. We ate at this place. There a bunch of restaurants facing the harbour here.
You pick out the fish and seafood you want to eat. They weigh it and then you go to the restaurant and they prepare it the way you want.
We had fresh prawns, razor clams, regular clams, shanghai crab and veggies. Way too much food for two. shanghai crab was overrated, it is in season but too much work to get the meat.
Haha!
We were looking for lunch and ended up going downstairs from the main street. We saw a bunch of locals going in so how bad could it be? It was GOOD! No english menu, but Jules managed to order for us. Look at how thy serve the milk tea. It's in an ice bucket.
