Mr Egg Hostel Nampo 1, Busan

After few minutes, we reached Mr Egg Hostel, in Nampo (next to KDB Bank ). We faced the difficulties in finding Mr Egg Hostel because it was hidden in the bank building. 

According to Yuin, she booked 4 bed female dorm and each person 23,000 won. Mr Egg gave us a 10% discount when I bring souvenirs (Penang White Curry Mee) from Malaysia. I found this useful information from the blogger, Jean click ( H.E.R.E )

Arrived !!!
Happiness were written all over our face 
We entered the guesthouse and welcome by the lady in charge. 
 Hi, Mr Egg 
Clay arts were displayed neatly on the cabinet 
 
According to the owner of the Mr Egg Guesthouse, most of the backpackers stayed in guesthouse were come from Malaysia and Taiwan. Just judging from the coin and key chains from different parts of the world 
Postcard service. 
 Dining table 

Different people from all over the world save the sweet memories in here
Message board 

It was my first attempt stayed in guesthouse. My first impression towards this guesthouse was very clean. I'm also satisfied with the room facilities as well: private bathroom, free hair and body shampoo, free wifi connection. 

However, this guesthouse is quite far from the Seomyeon station (it's near to our planned tourist attractions). I had to dragged by tired body to change the subway line in order back to the Mr Egg guesthouse after whole day (10 or 12 hours exploring Busan by feet) 

For those that are interested to stay in Mr Egg guesthouse, you may visit its official website (Click H.E.R.E

After we rest for 1 hour we immediately went to settle our brunch. 


I had no idea the name of this statue 
Randomly entered one of the Korea Restaurant 

Our meals like a feast 


This was our first time took the Korea meal in the Korea restaurant. My experience dined here was much difference compared in Malaysia. Laughter fill the air when we studied the menu and shocked with the food being served. 

The best things for the korea meal was plenty of side dishes with free of charge. Kindly remind  for those with huge appetites and really wished to save the money, you might eat more side dishes as much as you can.  
First meal in Busan made me fall in love towards Korea foods because the Korean food had powerful flavor. 

Visiting K-Land: Day 1 + Day 2

Update on **1 June 2014**

In the early morning, I took the flight from Miri to KK. I wished to revisit Wagamma Japanese Restaurant in One Borneo, KKin order to try its wonderful bento set few years ago. 

Then my action plan took place right after when I stopped by the KKIA waiting for my next flight to Busan.  

Yeay, finally few years later able stepped into Wagamama Japanese Restaurant
 
Bought JoJo a meal since she is the poor students right now  

 
Around 5pm, I reached KKT2 lately due to raining heavily and traffic jam 
 While waiting for Hani, me and Yuin discussed about the Busan trip
I was holding the smartphone of Wen Liann (so called "photographer") which was made in China 

Around 10pm, we were in KKIA 2. I thought we had plenty of time for the next flight to Busan on 1 am on 2 June 2014 but actually not much time left when we had to solve the luggage problem and headed to unknown direction (not familiar with the KKIA 2) 

Since it was my first time in KKIA 2, feel free and excited to shoot more photos as much I can 
Thanks to Wen Liann for taking this picture 
 Selfie time !!!
KKIA 2 looked so huge and gigantic 

 
Yuin, who was my seat partner along the Korea trip most of the times

Update on ** 2 June 2014**

Around 7.30am (South Korea time ), we reached Gimhae Airport in Busan. South Korea is 1 hour ahead compared to Malaysia. 

There was a free shuttle bus send all the passengers to the arrival hall.  

Other backpackers said " if in our country wouldn't have this kind of good shuttle service, they will ask the passengers walk by foot to arrival hall although it's a long distance walkway"

I just smiled and in fact I'm totally agree with them. 

 Me and Hani 
 
Around few minutes, we were in arrival hall 
The peace sign hand belonged to Wen Liann 
Busan, I'm ready to explore you!!!

 Had to fill customs declaration forms
 
 Searching for the railway or subway station in the airport. 
In order to get to Busan Gimahae Light Transit, walk straight from the airport and then turned left 
Luckily the cleaner in the railway station willing to help us to get the coin of subway station 
Alamak, all in "Bahasa Korea" 

What a coincidence, same flight with the Singapore backpackers and headed to the same guesthouse. 
Bought a ticket again to Seomyeon station 
After few minutes, we were in Jungan station exit gate no. 3 to search for Nampo guesthouse
Relaxed and shooted the photos with Hani 

 
 

To be continued.....
