Woke up in time to catch our express bus to 부산 at 11. Thought it was quite near to 해운대역 but we took about 10 minutes to reach the hostel. Nonetheless, Indy House hostel was cosy and the in-charge was also friendly and guided us to the best of their ability.

Washed our clothes and hang it before heading out. Ate 자짱면 in one of the stall at 해운대시장. Went to 부산해항 면세점 at 종앙동역항 for our first stop, so that Yuding and Chen Fang can purchase their ferry tickets from Busan to Fukuoka. Made some comments, which I regretted. I have to take note when I should keep my suggestions and not induce unnecessary misunderstanding without knowing the context and feelings of another person. Took quite a while but they spent about $200 each for return tickets. Kinda envious, but I guess I may have my chance in due time.

After checking the map, we decided to go up a steep slope which led us to 부산타워 at 용두산공원. It was quite a view up there, and a little cloudy, so we bought some 라면 to warm our stomachs before heading down. We came to a shopping street and of course, we went shopping.

자갈치시장 was our next stop. We walked there because it wasn't very far from where we were. They weren't interested to go in and look at the seafood, I'm guessing because of the fishy smell. I thought it was quite a waste because words cannot describe the variety of seafood that you can find there. Spectacular, strange, weird seafood I never knew existed. The crabs outside the market that was bigger than our two clenched fist joined together was nothing as compared to what was inside the market. Octopus bigger than the size of my abdomen, fishes longer than the length of my leg and more. 

I went up to the second floor where cooked and dried seafood was sold. There, many people was enjoying their dinner with their friends, colleagues, or family, with raw and cooked seafood served. The smell of the cooked seafood was that awesome my stomach grumbled most of the time when I was observing people eat. To my surprise, I did not see anyone eating 산낙지. I went down to look for them and saw them with a 아줌마. Was not sure why they've made friend with her but I just find something strange when they say she wanted to treat us to dinner out of the blue, I wasn't aware of the situation but we followed anyway. She treated us to 10 servings of barbecued meat, but I was still furious, and I felt the heartache when they asked me to leave.

After my appeal to trash things out after the incident, I realize that my mistake was that I couldn't contain my anger, and how upset I was, even though she did nothing to us. I really will apologize and thank her if I see her again. I really hope after all these, we will understand each other more and not contain any hatred towards one another, now that we understand each other's perception at these kind of situation.

Ended the day with little said, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

-------------------------------------------------------

Just some things I thought about after the two incident, one after another, in just one day.

I'll try not to be so serious at serious moments because it will not help to resolve conflicts.

I appreciate all of my friendship, so I couldn't contain my feelings for long. You can blame me for my attitude when I take things seriously, it's like a different me. but I do not agree that misunderstanding should be left as it is, simple perspective for that. When more and more builds up, it'll not be easily resolved. Maybe I'm those who remember hatred, but I also remember to appreciate. If misunderstanding stays as it is, let's just say that I cannot think that we will be friends for long. 

As for fandom, I did not came overseas with the mindset of chasing idols. I think it'll be great if we meet our idols spontaneously. 

I think the take off from this trip is that I may want to have company at some point of time, but if we cannot settle things and feelings easily, leaving a scar behind, I would rather go alone. There's no obligations to adhere to.
