During Korean Thanksgiving my friends and I hopped on a long bus to Busan to spend a few days. One of the most interesting things we did in Busan was walk around the Gamcheon Art Village.
These houses are still surviving after the Korean. While they certainly are charming from the outside, one wouldn't want to live here. As we were walking around, we got the vibe that generations of families have lived here and weren't used to American and Canadian girls walking around their streets taking pictures. Once we stopped to say hi to a dog and a man came outside and told us to leave. Nonetheless, it was really interesting to see this cute little houses with Korean slippers sitting outside on their doorsteps. :)
Once you reach the art village, there are 3 different walking paths to take. Whichever way you go there will be cute signs like these fish to direct you.
The random murals everywhere was really cool to stumble upon and we didn't even hit the major ones we saw pictures of.
Our walking path - quite narrow. As you can see, we are literally walking on people's property.
Next time you're in Busan, please spend an hour or two wandering this quaint village. ^^
