Chang Kyu told me that Busan had a firework festival on 17th night. I didn't really plan much on my trip to Busan and only expected to go to Jagalchi Market Festival. I was lucky to get to go to both festival.

I could not take any picture during fireworks display. It was jam-packed. There were so many policemen.

This journey was on 17th October. It was raining in the morning. The sky didn't want me to leave Chunyang. Joy couldn't send me off because he was sick so Bun Sok had to send me alone. The autumn was almost at its peak in Chunyang and I was so sad leaving them. Bun Sok and Joy told me to visit them anytime if I want to during my stay in Korea. T__T
At Chunyang bus terminal.
Fire starter for winter charcoal.
I met him in the bus to Andong. He speaks English fluently and was veryyyyy friendly. Hehehe. Chunyang to Andong - 1 hour and a half.
Erin - a high-school teacher in Andong. She's from Georgia and approached me in Andong's bus station first. Hmm..eventhough I'm alone in this journey but I never feel lonely because of these people.
From Andong, I took another bus to Busan. It took me around 2 hours.

The performance was on 16th October. Bun Sok saw the news on TV in the morning and decided to go if the weather was good. After cooking my Laksa for them, we went to Bonghwa to watch the concert. There, I had tteok again. Yahoo!! They served songpyeon..ngehehe.

* Hussain Sagar Lake (Tank Bund), Necklace Road. 24 hrs. artificial lake is a historical landmark, built during the reign of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah in 1562 by damming the Musi. This forms the boundary between Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Surrounding the lake are various parks, temples, statues and historical buildings. This is one of the few walkable places in the city. At the centre of the lake stands a famous statue of the Buddha installed in 1992. Free. edit
* Osman Sagar / Gandipet * Himayat Sagar * Durgam Cheruvu (Secret Lake) - this is quite close to Hi-Tec City area and now hosts various parties and events. It used to be a real hidden gem in the busy city but it is still a nice lake to sit around. * Shamirpet - 24 km away to the north of Secunderabad, Shamirpet has a beautiful lake & a deer park. Its peaceful environs make it a great picnic spot. AP Tourism offers comfortable cottages facilities for accommodation (under private management), while the forest lodge can be booked with the AP Forest Department office at Saifabad.
* Saroornagar - this lake is very famous as it has been lined by a solid strong wall on one side recently. A two lane undivided road is laid over this wall. The road is neat and exciting to drive. It has abundant lighting during nighttime and large pedastrian space provided. A problem is 'eutrophication' which is caused due to water hyacinth. A pleasant space for young couples to spend their evening. Smells sometimes, but that is the nature of any waterbody in a metropolis. Another important event that takes place is 'vinayakachaturthy',(a festival for Hindus in which Lord Vinayaka's statues are dumped in water). All roads lead to saroor nagar lake on the day of the Lord Ganesh's nimajjanam.
