Today, we visited the district of Nampo. Nampo-dong is not only known as the theater district, but also a popular shopping & food paradise. There are shops, cafes and restaurants on the beautifully decorated streets, along with mobile stalls filling the narrow alleys. This is the ideal place to shop your hearts out.
Gwangbok-ro fashion street
The tiled and curvy road makes this street pleasantly comfortable to walk.
Fashionable shops on either side of the road.
Christmas lightings everywhere. Too bad I could not see it lit.
Sculptures accentuate the area as the district of arts & media.
Bring on the band!
In the mood for celebration.
Welcoming party.
Had brunch in this huge Paris Baguette.
PIFF Square, where the annual film festival is held.
Movie stars and celebrities grace the red carpet into the famous theaters here.
Food - Local vs western flavours.
Famous handprints, whoever they belong to.
Leaving a deep impression.
Cold lemonade in winter? No thanks.
Being near the coast, Busan has abundance of seafood.
Locals patronising the street food stall for a quick bite.
Amidst all the modern shops stood an old cobbler repairing in his hole-in-the-wall shop.
Street stalls filled the length of this street, plus many more.
With my balding, I might need this one day. Haha!
Bottoms.
Tops.
Footwear.
Inner footwear.
The loud dresses. Getting ready for summer?
Almost every other shop here sells clothings.
Busan Tower soaring behind.
Fire truck red Vespa...
...and building.
We had early dinner at this cosy Italian restaurant aptly named Firenze. They served great pastas.
We spent a few hours in Nampo-dong, patronising from shop to shop and sinking in the Christmassy atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised to find the mix of old and new merchandisers could co-exist within the same streets. Consumers are spoiled for choice here. I love this place!
And another travel trip awaiting....
