Experience of the stay
I was surprised that almost all the front desk staff spoke Japanese. You can feel safe even if you don't understand any Korean!
It's within walking distance from Seomyeon Station, and there's a convenience store nearby, plus it's bustling until late at night, making it safe to walk alone. There are countless places to have fun, including Mom's Touch, a self-photo studio, Olive Young, Daiso, and so on, making it a very convenient location. There was also a charging machine for WowPass in the lobby. It was a pity that Netflix was not available to watch unlimited.
Experiences during the trip
Seomyeon area is not only about shopping, but I also took buses to Busan Station, Nampo, Choryeong, and Yeouido. Since it was raining, I spent most of my time shopping around Seomyeon Station and relaxing in cafes.
If the weather is nice, there's a hiking trail in Yeouido (Yeongdo) which I recommend! You should try the famous dishes of Busan such as Daeji Gukbap, Milmyeon, and seafood Kalguksu!
Personally, I think Haeundae is a place you should visit just once as a tourist. I have an urge to visit Gwangalli Beach multiple times. Seomyeon is a vibrant area for young people, so if you're looking for a quieter place, I recommend the lively market near Busan Station, 2 stops away, or Nampo. If you love old books, check out the used book street near Nampo or Aladdin near Seomyeon Station. I also visited a Japanese-style house, which was the filming location for IU's MV, and experienced wearing a school uniform! I had so much fun riding buses and walking around everywhere. It was hot, so I drank a lot of watermelon juice too.
