Views of Busan City 3, South Korea

It took me months to find the block of specialist shops for electronic components -- behind Migliore. General retail districts are useless for this sort of thing.	Perhaps because of apartment living, general hardware is often hard to find in Busan. However, this guy, parked near Dongnae Station, is offering a mobile hardware market. More common are roving fruit, vegetable or fish trucks with loudspeakers	Without the subway, this city would be a lot less liveable. Dongnae station is at one of the major commercial nodes. The strategic history of Dongnae goes back centuries.	Yeonsan-dong junction is another big commercial node going north on metro line 1.	Another view of Yeonsan junction. Battalions of cars poise for the rush.
A pavement seller in Yeonsan-dong. A reminder of the old economy Koreans would rather forget.	You had better like concrete sculpture in this town. Highways are king, and damn the view. This is a shiny new link between Haeundae and Suyong.	This quiet stretch of water, the tidal mouth of Suyong River near BEXCO, is totally neglected. Marine recreation is not part of the Korean ethic, and "water views" don't seem to count for much.	A little inland from Haeundae is BEXCO, the city's new exhibition hall, its pride and joy.	The stylish Modern Art Museum is next to BEXCO; (but it was closed when I went. Sigh). This seems to be a newly designated recreation zone.
