Busan

Busan starts with soup. Dishes locals empty an earthenware bowl of first thing in the morning — dwaeji-gukbap and bokguk in Dongnae, and another dwaeji-gukbap in Gwangalli. If dwaeji-gukbap is new to you, the write-ups note which place is the least funky and how to use the salted shrimp and chives. Gwangalli beach is close by, too.
