Winter is not a season you associate with a port and beach town like Busan, but it was still relatively active for the Lunar New Year.
These eels weren’t too happy about the situation.
One of the bonuses about South Korea is that you’re never far from some sort of hot food. Here’s, it’s twigim, the generic term for deep-fried snacks (similar to what the Japanese would call tempura). It’s just about the least healthy type of Korean food in a cuisine that’s relatively low in fat.
There’s plenty of fresh (often still living) seafood, everywhere. This is Busan, of course.

It was quite lively where I was for New Year too. But, I think most of that was because plenty of people come back for the holiday. Coffee shops and restaurants were all quite lively throughout the long weekend, even though the wind felt like it would slice you in half!
There were a ton of Chinese tourists (and a few Japanese) in Busan for the New Year celebrations, that’s for sure.
