Busan continued...

How could I forget the whole last day!! Really though there's not much to say, just to look at. We went to Yongdusan Park where Busan Tower is located. There's not much to it parkwise but the tower gives quite a view of the city, port & ocean. After that we went to Jungang Memorial Park. This used to be a refugee shantytown after the war. I don't know what happened to change all that and turn it into what it is today. The memorial is quite immense and very solemn. It's set high up on the hill and it is so quiet up there. There was something written about how the memorialized souls continue to stand watch over the city and sea.
I want to be sure that I don't leave anyone with the impression that this is just a simple port city. There is much more to it. This and my previous post only scratch the surface of "Dynamic Busan"! (They give these labels to cities here. For instance we live near "Colorful Daegu", although it is certainly not colorful. I wonder if they rhyme in the Korean translation?)
You can enjoy the view from the tower also!

The large building in the foreground on the waterfront with the 'folded' roof is Jagalchi Market. It is supposed to look like a seagull.

The building in the center of this photo is the beginning of Lotte Super Tower, slated to be completed in 2013, which will then be the third tallest in the world. (You can click this link to see what it will look like when complete. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotte_Super_Tower )

Jungang Memorial. It's much taller than this picture makes it look. You can only see about half of it from this perspective.

This sign was at Yongdusan Park. I thought the bottom rule of what not to do was so funny!
