We've enjoyed so many Airbnb experiences, it's hard to pick a favorite. Our experience in Busan might be high on the list, though. We took a guided walk through Jalgalchi Market which is the largest fish market in South Korea. Our host selected fresh ingredients that we took back to his cooking studio and we prepared a fantastic Korean lunch. There was a large group for this activity so it was a lot of fun spending time with and getting to know other travelers. Afterwards, the three of us hoofed it to Busan Tower and took in the 360 views of the city. And yes, Craig is holding a live octopus in his hand 🐙 @junotrip . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #dynamicbusan #jagalchimarket #airbnbexperience #visitkorea #igkorea #discoverkorea #3Zimmigos

Happy Sunday, friends! We spent the day exploring the neighborhood around our Airbnb. We discovered that Busan Citizens Park was close by so we wandered over. The area where the park is located was the local headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army during Japan's occupation of Korea and later a US Army camp for over fifty years. The camp was closed and the land was given back to the city and redeveloped into a park. There were several playgrounds, tons of greenspace with families picnicking, a small concert featuring traditional Korean music, and Adele's favorite discovery of the day - a splash pad! It was a pretty hot day and boy did I wish I could splash through the water, too! 💦 . . . . . . . . . . #dynamicbusan #busancitizenspark #visitkorea #igkorea #discoverkorea #3Zimmigos

Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan originally began as a shanty town built by refugees of the Korean war. The area was revitalized and is now an artist community and tourist attraction. We thought it would be a quick stop but we ended up spending about four hours exploring the alleyways, going up and down hidden stairs, and looking at all the cool art. . . . . . . . . . . . . #gamcheonculturevillage #dynamicbusan #visitkorea #igkorea #discoverkorea #3Zimmigos

We're in South Korea and I am beyond excited!! Not only am I half Korean but I was also born in Seoul. I'm looking forward to connecting with this country and culture . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #visitkorea #igkorea #discoverkorea #seoultravel #lovepeaceandseoul #3Zimmigos

We returned to Tokyo for our last weekend in Japan and capped off our stay in a ryokan. It was the perfect way to end our trip. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ryokan #tatami #discovertokyo #traveljapan #igjapan #3Zimmigos

We'll be leaving Japan in a few days. The last seven weeks have been an experience we will cherish forever! Here are few things I've loved and been amazed by: . 🎌Drink machines everywhere! Although it's more eco friendly to carry a reuseable bottle and public trash cans are few and far between here, it's convenient to be able to purchase a cold drink on the go. There are literally ten in the two short blocks to the metro station from our Airbnb.🥛 . 🎌 Art under your feet. Most people look for street art on the sides of buildings but in Japan it is quite often on the ground. Decorative manhole covers became popular in the 80s and each city or municipality includes an element specific to that area. 🕳️ . 🎌 Many of the train and metro stations in Japan contain massive shopping and restaurant complexes. Some even contain doctors offices and hospitals. It makes things so easy and convenient after adventuring all day to be able to grab a quick meal on the way home through the metro, get a new cell phone, or run out to get a quick massage! And of course, there's a Starbucks! 🚇 . 🎌 Packaging design. Everything is beautifully packaged, even an order of donut holes. While the packaging seems excessive, Japan does an excellent job of recycling. 🧧 . 🎌 The food has been AMAZING! We have had some awesome meals and loved the teppanyaki experience so much that we went back for dinner twice! 🍜🍱🍙🍡 . 🎌 Seven weeks may seem like a long time but I don't think we even scratched the surface. We will be back one day for sure . . . . . . . . . . . . . #visitjapan #landoftherisingsun #drainspotting #vendingmachines #ekinaka #japanesefoodlover #igjapan #3Zimmigos
