    Isa ang Busan sa aking dream tourist destination if ever man mabigyan ng pagkakataon na makapasyal sa South Korea and information from this blog is really helpful. Maganda pala na mag purchase na nitong Visit Busan Pass para hindi na magbayad ng admission fee sa iba’t ibang lugar na gustong bisitahin sa Busan and less hassle na rin siguro. Very informative talaga ng blog na ito.
