What to see in Busan

Travel in Korea is easy, all destinations is easily connected by bus and Metro Line. All you need to do is prior preparation like where to take the transport, what is the bus number and where to get off. You might have difficulty with the Korea language - hard to communicated with the bus driver. Therefore, you will need to listen carefully when they mentioned the location name for you to hop off the bus. So far, we didn't face any big challenges regarding their public transport.

My advice is, always hold the tourism map with you. Not everyone is good with English here. Besides, buy Cashbee card or T-money card for travel, it is comparison cheaper and convenience to travel in Korea.
