Hey all! I have a simple question.

I'm taking the KTX from Seoul to Busan. Where in Busan do I end up? What's the name of the subway station?

Oh, also, can anyone recommend a nice-ish (60 000-80 000 won) hotel that is centrally located?

Thanks!

Edit: Just found Busan station on the map. That's probably where I get off. Okay. About that hotel... maybe in Seomyeon...

Lots of cheapish hotels in Seomyeon. No worries there...they're all behind the Lotte Store, there's about thirty of 'em as I recall.

It's nice to wake up nearer to the beach, but the hotels are more expensive down by the water.

Thanks! Is the Lotte Store easy to find in Seomyeon once I get off the subway?

[blurgalurgalurga]

Yeah, easy as pie. Follow the signs and you can walk to the cruddy little Lotte casino from the subway station without getting your hair wet. Or, you can ask somebody 'lotte bekwajom odi sah yo?' and you will be helped.
It's been a while since I've been in Busan but I am pretty sure this is still correct.

I stayed in a decent hotel a block from the beach last year for about 25,000 per night. It was small, but the facilities were all in working order and comfortable enough.
