Memoirs of Busan and Romance of the Han River, nineteen pieces of goss
*I went to South Korea for the first time in the summer when I was a child, and the second time in the summer after graduating from high school. So far, they are far away from me. I have left 19 gossips here as a souvenir. It is an extremely personal memory. .For more of my travel guides, you can follow: https://www.douban.com/doulist/147564914

On my trip to South Korea in the summer after graduating from high school, I went with my sisters At that time, I had no interest in anything about kimchi country. I only remember that the weather in Korea was very hot and I was not in good health. Later, when talking to people, I always said "Korea is the most boring". Recently, my father and sister were going to Korea for a business trip, and they asked me if I wanted to go with them. I remembered that the trip to Korea was not very interesting.
For example, we actually had a good stay in South Korea. In the hotel suite we stayed in Busan, the master bedroom was opposite the sea in Busan. The sea in Busan was really beautiful. Later I read an article and it was written in the article
span style="font-weight: bold;">"Busan boys are really like the sea, they have no tears."

The bridge in the video is called Gwangalli Bridge. It is considered a landmark building in Busan. I like the name "Gwangalli" very much.

For example, the color of the city of Busan is really reflected by the sea. In the evening of the first day we arrived, we went to the seaside,Gwangalli Beach is known as a bathing beach in the city that contains the style of the South Pacific.
At dusk, the sea and sky in Busan are layered blue. Among the blue are highly saturated red observation towers. I am running in a white shirt. On the soft sand, the water will hit you again and again. The second time I went to the beach was the last night before leaving Busan. My sister bought a lot of sake and beer from the convenience store nearby and drank it together. Her friend ViVi sat with her on the steps and drank. My little cousin and I took off our shoes again and ran to the edge of the sea. Only in the endless darkness can I muster up the courage to call something into the distance, but I finally forgot what I was calling for. Every thought that calls you is like the moment flying by the seaside of Busan.
"The seaside in Busan at night, in the light and shadow, has a beautiful story. I want to tell you, so I dialed the phone and asked you what you were doing."
"I really want to go with you, I really want to Walking on the beach with you”

For example, in the taxi back to the hotel, my sister was asked by the driver if we were born in America. Korean, this gives me a bit of a "local feeling". I have said when writing other travel notes that I think it is very pleasant to blend into the life of the locals when traveling.
(4)
For example, we went to Gamcheon Culture Village, a famous Internet celebrity attraction in Busan, the so-called "Santorini of South Korea". My assessment is that it is not the Santorini of Korea, it is the urban village of Busan.
It was very hot that day and the roads were not easy to walk. There was a huge queue in front of the famous photo spot of the Little Prince and the Fox. However, the effect of the photo was pretty good. I used it. Long time avatar.

For example, we drank samgyetang. I still remember that when I came to Korea as a child, I also drank samgyetang on the last day.
For example, we took a glass cable car. The entire cable car was transparent, and the blue sea of Busan was right under our feet. I played "Give You the Universe" in the cable car.

Lily was the first female idol I liked, and later we met her by chance at a subway station in Seoul.
At that time, she was still living in a corner of Seoul, but now I can only pray that my old friend will stay in the light.

At noon on a sunny day, we left Busan. First, I took a taxi to the high-speed rail station with my sisters in order to put down all the boxes. The car drove onto the Guang'anli Bridge on the sparkling sea. I almost fell asleep until my little cousin said to me anxiously, "You Looking at the map, this driver seems to be driving to the wrong place! I was stupid at that time. This driver obviously did not have the ability to communicate with "ABK". We talked and gestured for a long time, but the trajectory on the map was still getting more and more skewed.
In the end, I had no choice but to call an aunt who could speak Korean. By the time we arrived at the high-speed rail station, my sisters had almost finished the miso soup set (╯□╰). Even my sister, who is a little expert in living alone, has confirmed that "it's much harder to find the road in Korea than in Japan. I can't speak Japanese." I can still understand a little bit."
(7)
Then we took the high-speed train to Seoul. From Busan to Seoul is equivalent to crossing the north and south of South Korea. Although it was in the opposite direction, I was still happily saying that this was "Train to Busan". Although what we shot in the car was not a movie, but TikTok.
(8)
The B&B we stayed in in Seoul was near Hongdae, which was more spacious and comfortable. The owner of the B&B could speak Chinese and would give us some delicious food. fried chicken. I have to say that Koreans are really good at making fried chicken, and the first bite you take is absolutely amazing.
You can’t go to Korea without eating fried chicken.
(9)
The trip to South Korea can be summed up with "hot" and "eating". Busan is “hot” and Seoul is “eating”. The streets of Seoul are far inferior to Tokyo, or even inferior to Osaka, but it has a lot of beautiful coffee shops.
This beautiful coffee shop is called Low Coffee Hannam. I don’t know if it is still open.

In the last two days, my little cousin and I finally separated from our sisters. When my little cousin and I stay together, things always get a little funny. For example, it was obviously calm and windless in Seoul that day, but my hat was blown off for no reason. I jumped up on the spot and screamed. Then I chased one step, and it flew up three steps. Finally, I was caught. My little cousin caught up with me and said, "You are quite funny. Your hat was blown away by the wind, but you didn't chase me. You screamed first."
There is a saying, <span style="font-weight: bold;">"If you miss someone, it will turn into a breeze and gently pass by his side. Even if he can't feel it, this is All your efforts. Life is like this, everyone becomes the wind they miss." Kpop fans also quote it from time to time. I don’t know what kind of wind of longing blew to Seoul that day and blew my hat away.

That afternoon, the two of us went to a bustling commercial area in Seoul, and I suddenly wanted to drink milk tea. At that time, milk tea had just begun to become popular in Japan and South Korea. We searched and found that there was a Gong Cha nearby, and then we walked back and forth on the basement floor of a certain building for about an hour, and finally found this Gong Cha. Well, the next day, we walked through Hongdae and passed two tribute tea shops.
I have written that when my little cousin and I stay together, things will always become a little funny ( ╯□╰ )
(Twelve)
After drinking the tribute tea We found Starfield Library. Starfield Library is as beautiful as a Korean drama. It was sunny and raining in Seoul that day. I always thought it was the kind of weather that would happen when the male and female protagonists meet in Korean dramas.
Maybe the hero and heroine will meet in the Starfield Library to hide from the rain.

We didn’t meet the male protagonist in Starfield Library, but we waited until we met the sisters, and then took a taxi to Gangnam District to eat barbecue (we should have It’s also in Gangnam District, but I didn’t know about it until I ate the barbecue, so I was particularly looking forward to the barbecue location).
Anyone who has watched Korean dramas probably knows that Gangnam District is a famous wealthy area in Seoul. This shop is called Samwon Garden. It has a history of 40 years. It really looks like "Castle in the Sky". When I was eating barbecue, I felt like I was in the middle of "The Heirs", and the next second it transformed into "Cheongdamdong" Alice".
(14)
Then we returned from Jiangnan to Jiangbei and passed by the Han River. I like the image of Han River very much. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen a lot of fanfics with Korean groups as the background, some Korean group dramas and fewer Korean dramas. It may also be because there is only one Han River in Seoul, or South Korea. I watched an ancient drama series, "Girls Go to School". One member of this team ran to the Han River and shouted "I can do it" because of too much pressure when he first debuted. I have nothing against this member, or any member of this team. Special feelings, but in my girlhood, I loved playing the stage of this girl group when I was under too much pressure from study.
"The repeated sadness in this world will no longer happen again. Among countless unknown roads, I walk towards the faint light. We will be together forever and meet again in the world."
That is the golden age in life, and it is also the eternal girlhood.
The water of the Han River is rolling with endless foaming desire. On the south side of the river, there is a lot of land, and on the north side of the river, there are dilapidated roof towers and old palaces. On the bank of the Han River, I saw girls shouting "I can do it!", exotic teenagers riding bicycles at night, and PDs and idols who were surveying the venue and recording group songs.
The river is also filled with the sweat and tears of many, many people. That was the youth of many, many people, and the life of many, many people.
When the subway crossed the Han River, I saw thousands of lights outside through the small window. I suddenly put on my headphones and listened to old Cantonese songs. At that moment, Seoul transformed back into Seoul.
Seoul was renamed Seoul in 2005. Cantonese songs, which have always loved making fuss about place names, also released two songs, "Love Is Not in Seoul" and "Seoul Has Sinked".
I heard it a long time ago, but it was the first time I heard it on the subway speeding across the Han River.
"Seoul is like a sinking city, and only the city of Seoul is left. The place where I vowed to stand has been completely abandoned along with the place name."
It was probably the first time I came to South Korea. Around the time Seoul was renamed, my parents took almost all the cousins in our family with them. I think it must have been a very lively and happy memory, and I can vaguely remember some.
"The cities and unfinished poems that once took you to travel have been trampled into history by the years. There is no romance in the new city."
It turns out that there are also my unfinished stories in the Han River.
(15)
"Can I revisit Myeongdong New Village?" My cousin and I also went to Myeongdong one afternoon. There are many snacks in Myeongdong and shopping stores. Not quite in line with our orientation. I remember that we had already eaten Isaac Toast, spicy fried rice cakes, and spicy ramen that day. We were sitting in the Innisfree flagship store trying to kill the soufflé, but I still ran into the Paris Baguette next door. I rarely feel like I did that afternoon. Those breads look so tempting, I have to buy them. It’s funny to say that I was dumbfounded when I saw Paris Baguette on the streets in Korea. I had always thought that Paris Baguette was a bakery from France.
My friends all say that I look like Bao Lulu, which makes it hard for me not to think that Bao Lulu is cute. Later, I applied Seoul and Pororo filters to Paris Baguette.

Like "Xian" Jiang who carries too many "regrets", I also have two regrets in Seoul. One incident was when I was waiting for the subway at a certain subway station, my little cousin suddenly asked me if I had any tissues, and I said no. When I looked up, I saw a woman crying next to me. My cousin told me that she seemed to be Chinese.
I was stunned, then the subway entered the station, we got on the bus, leaving the crying strange woman behind. Before I went out the next day, I grabbed a pack of tissues.
There is another one that is more humorous. There is a "Love Museum" in Hongdae, Seoul (we even passed by it!). At that time, my little cousin and I didn’t know what to do. I said, let’s go there. After looking at the results, I had to check my age to get in, and I had to wait until next year to get in. So in the end I could only smile and say "Next year! Come again next summer!".
Of course, I didn’t go to Seoul the next summer.
Of course, summer will come again. One summer, I will go again.
(Seventeen)
If I go again, if I go again.
I really want to go to Nanshan Tower, but I probably have never been there. My sister went once, and I saw her and her friends in the ticket circle, padlocking and taking photos on the gleaming Nanshan Tower. I heard that couples who go to Nanshan Tower together will eventually break up, which is true.
I might pass by Yeonnam-dong and go to Hongdae next door to have a pizza. The male idol I have a crush on went there in the group drama. He smiled in front of the camera and said that this is the place where he lived when he was a child. , and was scolded by adults for playing with fire with his friends. The soundtrack of "Shuangmendong" sounded at the right time, "I'm going to a far away place tomorrow, and we'll meet again when we come back someday." Affected by the financial crisis at the end of the last century, the Obama's family moved to the east of the United States when he was in elementary school. Making a living on the coast.
I have also heard of a song called "Spring on Deoksugung Stone Wall Road". This road, which is known as the most beautiful road in Seoul, is said to have a rumor that "lovers will break up if they walk together" because of the establishment of a divorce court. . So I wanted to walk this road listening to this song. "We will never break up even if we hold hands and walk along the stone wall of Deoksugung Palace together."
...
Although there are many places I want to see, I think of one night when my sisters were navigating ahead to find them. At the barbecue restaurant, my little cousin and I walked side by side on the trails in Jiangnan District, talking a lot of boring nonsense, and felt very satisfied. That night was as beautiful in my heart as the moon hanging high in the night sky in Seoul.
(Eighteen)
Writing this, I suddenly remembered that when we went to Korea for the first time, we went to eat Korean barbecue the night we arrived. My dad there teased us in a mysterious way, "I want to have a good time tonight." Looks good, how do you eat Korean barbecue?”
My cousin suddenly had a clever idea: just eat it with your mouth.
My mother heard that I was writing a travel journal about Korea and sent a photo of me taken in Korea as a child to express her support haha.

The day of returning to China happened to be the Chinese Valentine's Day. After arriving at the airport, we hurriedly grabbed a few high-speed rail tickets and scattered them in various places in the carriage. Only my cousin and I sat together. Halfway through the journey, my cousin shared a message in the WeChat group, saying that the young man sitting on her left was chatting with his girlfriend. He told his girlfriend that he was on the high-speed rail. Her girlfriend didn't believe it, so he could only send the bubbles he had eaten. Face the past. I glanced at the young man in that direction and thought it was interesting and sweet.
Our trip to Korea came to an end in such fun and sweetness.
