Last coffee in Busan~ Compose Coffee 컴포즈 커피

Last day in Busan. Early this morning, after sent off relatives to Gimhae Airport, instead of take taxi home, I suggest to take Busan Metro so I could take a glance of some the districts (outskirts of Busan) that I never visit before. Begin from Gimhae Airport, we first take the LRT where we able to see the view from train window for several numbers of station. Until we transit at Daejeo for Metro Line 3 and metro (train) started to go underground all the way until we reach Yeonsan metro station. 

After arrived Yeonsan station, I quickly grab my last a-coffee-a-day in Busan before head home. This is another 2,500 won caffe latte from another Busan coffee chain named Compose Coffee 컴포즈커피. Established around the same time as when cheap and affordable take-out coffee culture started in 2015. This branch that I get my compose coffee is in Yeonsan. Up to today they have around 150+ chains all over Korea and continue to expand. Can't believe a month long break in Busan end just in a blink of eyes. I am glad that I've been travelled a lot, see a lot and eat a lot again during this trip.

Texas street, Busan

In Choryang-dong, opposite the Busan Station, there is this "Texas Street" known as red light district, just one street away from Busan Chinatown. During the 1940-50s, this area was setup up as an entertainment area to cater the needs of Americans soldiers and foreign ship crews. During the day time, it seems like a normal commercial district that serve foreigners and foreign sailors. However, at night after shop closed, it turn into night life districts with nightclubs and hostess bars open. I was told that this area has a lot of local Busan Russian population, therefore the business are cater for the Russians as well. You may tell from the signboards as it has Russian word on it. Not recommended to visit Texas street alone at night, especially for ladies, since it is a "red-light district". However day time is fine to visit around just like what we did. As we are here on Monday, which is a common rest day for the Korean businesses. Majority of the shops are closed and not operating. Including Chinatown.

Second time visit~ Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan 감천문화마을

Our last 2 stops of go round Busan in 1 day is Gamcheon Culture Village. This is my second time visit here, 3 years ago I visited Gamcheon together with my family during our family trip to Korea. The village has changed a little compared to first visit. Those main attractions such as Prince and the Fox still remain the same. Just like 3 years ago's visit, this time also I didn't manage to go further explore every corner of the village. Still, I am happy to be back to Gamcheon again for the beautiful sea view from highest point of the village.

Third visit to Taejongdae, Busan 부산 태종대

From Oryukdo skywalk, we continue to head down to Yongdo for Taejongdae~ our 4th stop. It's my 3rd time here. I've been very familiar with it but still it's one of my most favourite place to visit in Busan. As there's high wave and strong wind since morning at Haedong Yonggungsa due to typhoon lan, we expected the same situation here in Taejongdae since our destination is Sinseon Rock. Turns out, Sinseon-rock (the cliff) is closed and not allow to be access as it poses a high risk from the strong wind ... that's too bad. Nevertheless, the view from observatory is still magnificent but also hard to take nice picture as hair keep messed up by the strong wind lol.
