Korea! Gourmet trip!

Hi everybody!
Long time no see~
I went to Korea for a week to meet some friends.
I spend in total 4 days in Busan and 3 in Seoul.



The first day I arrived, my friend took me to a Bulgogi restaurant.   
 Beef was super soft and it was mixed with a delicious sauce:
 Then she took me to a Chijimi restaurant. We took a mixed one with sea food, kimchi and chicken:
 Next day we went to Nampo dong (in Busan) and had a Bibimbap:
Then we had a walk. This area has a looooot of food, socks and mobile phone cases stands. It was paradise☆.
Especially the artbox shop which sell cute things like stationary, stickers, key holders, cups etc. Everything I like :)
 Busan tower!
 Sakura full bloomed!


Busan university station.
In opposition to Paris, the nearest station of the university is the best place to do shopping or having lunch/dinner. It's cheaper than some tourist places.
 Inside the university:
 Winnie the pooh:
In a hidden place of the university,in the middle of the forest, there is an open restaurant.  
Chijimi:
 Noodles:
Seoul.
The Gyeongbokgung palace:
Dongdaemun, famous for its market (of shoes, books, socks, clothes, everything?)
Then I walked for like 3 hours trying to find for a good restaurant. I wanted to eat Toppoki.
Anyway I was surprised to find out that communicating in English or in Japanese in Seoul was tough...
So I ordered some toppogi but didn't know that it was cooked with seafood... hum...
Breakfast. 
After eating so many spicy foods I was missing sweets.
You will find tons of donuts shops in Korea, and it was difficult to resist to the good smell of Duskin Donuts:
For lunch we went to a restaurant specialize in Samgyetan.
Chicken is boiled in a soup stuffed with rice, chestnut and ginseng
Ehem
Insa-dong, for couples :s
Nice shops which sell artistic items:
Went back to Busan!
Food stand with Gyoza, (super spicy) Toppoki, tube-shaped fish-paste cake:
Fried chicken!!
I wanted to eat this dish for a looooong time and after walking for an hour, we finally found it...But it was closed :(.
Fortunately there was another restaurant just next to it.
We ordered only one plate, but even with my friend we couldn't finish the plate..
Next day --> Gyeongju!
One hour by bus, 2 hours by train from Busan.


Traditional Korean food, with cabbage, chicken, chijimi, radish,  fish with tomato sauce..:
Cute Cafe:
Cupcakes, cute and yummy:


Mint taste on the left, tiramisu on the right:


Full bloomed Sakura
For the last night, we had a Korean barbecue!!!
Pork was juicy:
You roll in a salad one piece of meat, add some onion, gochujang, kimchi and eat in one bite:
Kanpai!
Cold noodles:
Better if you eat with a piece a meat:
Fuuuuuuuuuuull:
Brownie waffle and vanilla ice cream for dessert:
In-flight meal:
Korea food: GREEEEEEAT!!
