I've been to the Gamcheon Culture Village of Busan twice already, first was during winter time in 2018 for a solo trip. The second time was more recently, autumn of 2022, with my friend Paxie. Both experience were very memorable.
You will think it's just a place to take pictures of the rainbow houses, but spend a little more time here for the food, for the art, and of course, for the sunset. For both times I was there, it was always golden hour. The place looks beautiful with the pink skies as background.

It would have been nice if we visited Cafe Magnate during Jimin Day (initial plan), but thanks to the internet we found out early October 13 that it was already impossible to enter the cafe unless we lined up before they opened the gates.
Since it was also the BTS Busan concert week, tourists flocked the coffee shop--some even with luggages in tow. Food were already flying out of their menu midday. Jimin's dad also gave away cute baby Jimin freebies like straws, tumblers, and tumblers.. which I wished I was able to snag. But honestly, our quiet time in the cafe a week late from Jimin Day was also nice.

| I was here! What a dream come true! |
After our blogger trip in Busan, Paxie and I stayed in the city for one more night to fulfill some unfinished business when we were there during BTS Week.
We stayed in a hotel located just a stone throw away from the Busan Station. I booked it on-the-spot, a few hours before our check-in, and it didn't cost us so much for a decent room rented the last minute.

Another memorable part of this long Korea trip is heading to Busan for "BTS Week". We went there earlier to avoid the crowd we were anticipating (advance mag isip), but I realized how Korea's transportation system was sooo good that it didn't bother the other ARMYs who travelled just in time for the concert. Super commendable, mapapa sanaol nalang ako!
