Kkangtong Sijang was famous for imported goods, smuggled or not... I used to come here to buy a walkman or panasonic product... because they were so cheap... comparing with products sold at a regular shops including department stores.

 After the Gukje Sijang, we went to the Dolgorae... which is Soondubu(unpressed tofu)  specialized restaurant. After being famous, it seemed to change... I mean very commercialized...

 Soondubujib Dolgorae



It says on the Neon Sign, "cheap and delicious house"



Door


Wow it has Japanese menu.  And not that cheap...


Small amount of side dishes... Looks clean but so small amount


Fish cake







Kimchi, it was delicious



Disappointed cooked rice


Its main dish, Soondubu soup



: Even though it's so commercialized, it had still kept the quality and the taste... I mean it wasn't that bad... Actually the restaurant for the sellers and workers of the market... but... now...it became popular...

 The movie, Kukje Sijang(Ode to my father) made the location, Nampodong, Jungangdong and Jagalchi more popular among Koreans. Kukje Sijang is the name of the market around there. Here Kukje means 'international' and Sijang means 'market'. I don't know the origin of the name but it's quite big market having a long history...

 From the Lotte Department Store...



There was a fountain show going on.






While waiting for others to come, I ate 500 won ice cream sold at the Lotteria...






Walking on Nampoding street


Mon tree? (lex rotunda Thunb)



Typical Nampo street

 The Kukje Sijang


That day someone gave the tea free


This Gaemijip is quite famous among Koreans





And I ate a lunch at the Donggorae(Dolphin) Restaurant

 : I finalize this year alone... Time goes faster and faster as time goes by... And I will meet the final day of the next year again, soon. Damn... I am not ready... for this... OK? Time don't go away... OK? When I was young, I didn't know...right??? How can I know this? I want to live my youth again....

 Waiting for a festival for all...



 If we cannot inherit the tradition, we'd better make a new one... like USA...


  Festival Homepage



It's Lotte Department Store



Busan Christmas Tree Festival, it says...



The building is Lotte... It's an island...



He welcomes us

 The Festival and Lotte...



  Lotte, is it a company of Japan or Korea? I think it's Japanese.... The building stands there separated from the festival... You know what? The building blocks the view from the Yongdusan Park. Damn.. bad corporation. Lotte is also famous for the labor exploitation.


 Like Lotte Castle(Apartment Brand), Lotte company built their own castle in Korea... very firm and rigid... making lots of profits...here... 


 



Christmas...




 Another year goes away again... My brain capacity has limit... this is the main reason... I feel the time passes so fast... If I had a computer memory, I wouldn't feel that... I will feel every moment...in my brain... This can be a blessing and also a curse... But I want that power... like the movie "limitless'


 At the end of every year, thinking of the past, the year, I always felt I didn't do anything special...that year... This is because my memory has limit....


 At the last day of the year, only my worries deepen.
