Finally our most awaited year end holiday is here. On Tues, mummy sent Emeryn home from daycare at about 12.30pm. Emeryn stayed at home alone while mummy went back to work. Mummy came home at about 4.30pm and had a quick bath before Ah Kong came over to park his car at our car park lot. We then took Uber to airport where Por Por, Ah Pak and Ah Mou were waiting for us. 

We then flew to KL at 6.30pm. At KL, mummy and Emeryn went into the Premier Lounge while the rest of the old folks spent their time having dinner and lounging at the food court. Later we flew to Busan at 11pm. We safely touched down at Busan around 6.30am, the local time. Since we have ample of time, we took our time at the Immigration and layered ourselves with clothing before walking out from the airport. We took the Light Rail Airport transit and interchange with the subway before alighting at the last station, Jangsan. With the clear instruction given by the Airbnb owner, we easily got into apartment without any trouble. The home was really cozy and fully equipped with all the necessities. 

We then headed out to our first destination, APEC Nurimaru House. After getting off from the subway station, we walked for at least 30mins to reach our destination . We walked under the drizzling rain but braved through it. We proceeded to our second destination, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple via bus. After alighting from the bus, again we have to walked at least 20mins to reach to the entrance. After visiting the beautiful temple by the sea, we filled our empty tummies with the street food found outside of the temple. 

We took the same bus back to the subway station before going to Bexco. To our disappointment, the Korea Tourism Office has closed down and we were unable to try on the free hanbok experience. We then walked across the road and took a photo of the Busan Cinema Center from afar. Next, we headed to Shinsegae Centum City for dinner at the food court. Finally that was our first proper meal in Busan. After the meal, we went to Spa Land known as Korea's most outrageous sauna. It was all of their first experiment except for mummy which she went once in Japan. Por Por and Ah Mou decided not to join us at the nude spa. So they both spent their time  enjoying the other facilities. Emeryn happily tagged along with mummy at the hot spring.

After a relaxing spa, we went to Haeundae, our last destination. While walking towards the beach, we came across a happening street fully lighted and filled with hawker stalls. Randomly we picked one store and had our meal before going back to the apartment. We had a very tiring day after a long, long walk.
