Nampo-dong: A Photo and Videographic Retrospective


      Brandon, Quentin, and I spent one of our days in the Nampo-dong and Jagalchi districts. Famous for it's open-air fish market and enormous Lotte department store, we made sure to take it all in as the fishermen's ships docked, unloaded the day's catches, and the masses purchased whatever they needed. As previously shown, Jagalchi never disappoints when it comes to odd delicacies. This time was no different.

     While in the Lotte department store, we were able to view a water show that is held every hour, on the hour, eleven times a day. It consists of falling water from over six stories with images projected onto the water, synchronized to music, and falling letters that spell out "Busan" and "Lotte." It's quite impressive and I can't even imagine what it takes to engineer something like that.



P.S. - I think it's a safe assumption that Quentin enjoyed his new found wealth due to the exchange rate.
