Buddha's Birthday is the Christmas of the Buddhist World, from what I can gather. In Busan, the place to be is Beomeosa Temple. The holiday usually falls at the end of May or beginning of June. The holiday's other name is Festival of Lanterns, for good reason. The temple is decorated with thousands of paper lanterns which are lit after sunset.
Address: Beomeosa Temple, North of Busan Nat'l Uni.
Directions: Take the Busan subway, Orange line to the Beomeosa stop(a few stops past Busan Nat'l Uni).
Take a bus or cab up the hill, or you can hike(about 5km).

33. Eat at the Fish Market in Seoul or Busan
jobs korea

The Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries operates the Noryangjin Fish Market which is Seoul's largest market for marine products. This 66,000 square meter facility houses over 700 shops selling fresh and dried fish and squid from 15 fishing ports around Korea. It also includes numerous restaurants, an auction floor, and an adjacent agricultural section. Open from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., retailers work every day while wholesalers take off Sundays and holidays.
Directions: Subway line 1, Noryangjin Station

The market runs between Ch'ungmu-dong and Namp'o-dong, right next to Pusan Harbor. It actually has two main sections: one for fresh seafood, another for dried seafood. The name of the area comes from Jagal (small rocks) and ch'i (a pure Korean word describing villages next to the seashore). Originally, the area had many small rocks. In modern times, a wharf has been built and much of the area is concrete and lined with buildings, so no trace of the namesake remains. Every year, the Jagalchi Festival celebrates the area and its products.
Directions: Subway line 1, Nampodong or Jagalchi Station

35. Stay in a LOVE motel - an experience in it's self

Love motels are hotels that are frequented by lovers or cheating spouses; however, to the foreign traveler, you might not notice much of a difference between the average motel and love motel. Many love motels will make themselves distinct, when you first walk by one, you'll see a hidden entrance way, car license plates may be covered and pictures of rooms are usually displayed in the lobby. They are actually, quite luxuriously decorated inside and out. It's not the accommodation that's seedy, it's the purpose. In mid to upper-scale love motel rooms, you can possibly expect to find anything from pink tinted lights, waterbed, mirrored ceilings, all the way to plasma screen TV, computer, and jacuzzi. Its’ an inexpensive way to find a hotel with a western bed when travelling throughout Korea. If you can put aside the concept of the Love Hotel!

Ch'eonwhang-bong peak is the second highest peak in Korea and rises 1915 meters. Even those not making it to the top have a tough climb, with over a dozen major peaks higher than 1,500 meters.

Most Western fast food restaurants have an outlet here eg. Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King. There are also trendy wine bars, italian, french and indian restaurants to name a few. The area gets packed solid with partiers on summer weekends. Most places stay open until dawn.

39. Watch a Movie at a DVD Bang
teaching english as a second language

A DVD Bang (DVD방) or Video Bang (비디오방) is an establishment that has private rooms for couples and friends to watch movies in. They usually consist of a couch and a wide-screen TV with surround sound. Prices range from 10,000-15,000 per movie, depending on the place. DVD bangs carry a large selection of Western movies, which are usually new or recent releases. Finding older movies can be difficult, but some DVD bangs have been known to carry older popular titles.
The culture around DVD bangs is that they originally started showing up in the 1980's as private video rooms for couples seeking to watch VHS movies together. The fad started not so much for movie-goers, but for the privacy that the rooms give. In Korea, it can be tough for young couples to find privacy, as Koreans live at home until marriage and there is a lot of cultural stigma and taboo surrounding public displays of affection. Sometimes these rooms became not so subtle as to what can often transpire there. It was not unheard of to be able to walk in to your video room and see no couch, but actually a bed in its place. Times have evolved somewhat and rooms are more fashioned a little less blatantly obvious, even though frolicking still goes on behind the closed doors. Because of the risque stereotype that Koreans have with DVD bangs, don't be terribly surprised if you hear the odd snicker come from somewhere, if you consist of two guys picking out movies at a DVD bang.
