korea : busan free and easu Funstay Inn Guest House (Accomodation)

The charges of this hotel room is not expensive.
Therefore, our expectations are not too high too.
The reception and common area looks very good as it is adorned by painting, beautiful furniture and soft toys.
Take note that there are no lifts, you have to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs to the receptionist and to your hotel room.
I did not have the chance to try out the breakfast which is inclusive as I had only two morning in Busan and I set off early in order to cover more places.
The owner knows a bit of English.
The location I think is quite good as it is located near to train station, walking distance to a shopping district (NAmpo-dong), biff square, Jagalchi Fish market, Busan tower and Lotte department.
However, is definitely not recommended if you are a beach babe as it is located quite far from the beach.
although, they state that exit 1 of the subway is the best. at exit 1. The best way to get there is walk further down to the next exit after exit 1. There is a small exit in between the shops.
Climb up the flight and steps and Funstay inn guesthouse is just located beside the exit.
think is exit 111. once you exit, you will see a pet store.


First Impression


Exterior. It is quite easy to spot.

The room.
After looking at the reception area, I was hoping that the room will be as impressive looking.
The bed are just located side by side. There is little or no ventilation.
There is a locker to keep your valuables safely..
The toilet is clean..

A pot of flowers stand at the door and is opposite the information counter.

Paris free and easy: Printemps and a little shop


 Printemps, located near Havre-Caumartin. We went up to the roof top to enjoy the view.
The shopping there is also good with major brands.
Nearby is a little shop which sells some longchamp and some of the brands at a slightly cheaper price.
Can do a price comparison and Printemps and walk over to the little shop.
But there will be no fanciful bags. Safer as some people might say.
The tax refund seems to be slightly better too.











The little shop.
just cross the road from printemps. Around 3-5 minutes walk away.

paris free and easy:sandeman free walking tours


Sandeman paris free walking tour
The main reason I took up the tour is because I have only a few days in Paris. Walking by myself will take up a lot of time as I have to figure out where and how. I want to cover as much of Paris in the shortest possible time. It should be much safer travelling a big group.

It was enriching and entertaining. My tour guide was quite good and the English is understandable.
Provide me with a lot of information about Paris.
There was a 15 minutes break in between for us to get drinks and food.
The tour end near Champs-Élysées, can walk over to shop before going back.
Check with the guide for directions
Meetup is near St Michel station.

Convenient. 
Tips are recommended.



















PAris free and easy : Seine river boat ride Eiffel tower

http://www.vedettesdupontneuf.com/home/
Instead of visiting the Eiffel Tower, we decide to take the boat ride.
One reason is because we heard about the pickpockets and other not very pleasant incidents online around that area.
We booked the boat ride around the trip around the sunset period. Means we get to enjoy both day and night scene of the Eiffel tower.
The port is just located near toPont Neuf train station

Korea free and easy : Busan biggest shopping mall Shinsegae

Shinsegae is located at centum city.
It is accessible by the train and beside Spa land


We were very hungry after the Spa. Ordered food at the food court.
There are western, chinese and Japanese food too.
The food court has an English Menu.
Just go to main counter, ask for the English menu and place your order and pay up.
They will give you a pager which will vibrate and light up once your food is ready for collection.








The basement there are a lot of snacks and pastries available.
Food looks delicious but I was too full to try any of it.






The supermarket, E-mart has a wide variety of groceries, a bakery and also sells rice cakes and fried chicken.



Coffee break





There have major brands like fubu and mcm. A beautiful shopping mall.
There are things on discount which are quite affordable, less than $100.
