Busan: University

12:00 noon. Down, out, and off to Jesse's university, and our first coca-cola of the day. We stopped in at McDonalds, where Jesse says that he spent countless hours studying and getting free refills. We order a bulgogi burger, which is a pork sandwich with a bit of a sweet taste, and our sodas. McDonalds plus coke equals more energy for walking down the street.

Right outside the university the sidewalk is full of shops catering to students, mostly the hungry kind. Sandwiches, bakeries, coffee shops, bars, cell phone shops, and a small hole in the wall (decorated with brick-print wallpaper) that sells ice cream on a waffle.

We walked through the university campus, which was much nicer than I expected, level, and in the heart of the city. The university has added 4 buildings in the last year. We visited the student building, which is beginning to look a little run-down, with some cracks in the facade, and then Jesse took us to see if any of his professors were out and about. Since it was 1:00 pm, we're sure that the lack of professors was an indication that they were in class.

After school we bought a waffle cone for less than 1000 won. Great deal, and very tasty. Then back to the subway, headed for the fish market.
