Romantic Busan
What do you think about the word “romantic”? I think romantic is Busan. Let me tell you what happened recently to explain that feeling. Yesterday, I went to emart to buy a wrist band with my friend; I hurt my wrist while playing basketball. There was a couple in the sports section. But we are two single boys so we felt hit by reality. We bought a wrist band and got hit and went to Haeundae beach. But there were more couples around the beach. So we went back to each others’ homes with only a sigh. Emart and Haeundae beach were like couple event zones. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many couples in my life. Everywhere I looked, all I could see were people in love: young, old, even dogs!
That’s why I think Busan is romantic.
