Busan - My Second Home, Still.
Busan is more than just a city to me, it's my "second home". I have been living here for the past four unforgettable years, and during this time, it has become a part of who I am. What makes Busan truly special for me is the way it beautifully blends modern life with the calm of nature. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the peaceful sound of waves, the fresh air, and the vibrant energy of city life all coexisting in harmony.
These four years have been filled with memories that I carry with me every day. I explore local markets, enjoy spicy Korean food, and spend countless evenings walking by the sea. More than anything, I cherish the friendships I have made. Busan continues to introduce me to people from all over the world. We share meals, celebrate holidays, and support each other through the challenges of living far from home.
No matter where I go in the future, a part of my heart will always remain in Busan. It is giving me more than just memories; it is giving me perspective, lifelong friends, and a sense of belonging. That's why Busan will always be special to me.
