It will be our (wife and I) 1 year anniversary. What would be nice to do? I see there is an aquarium. Any suggestions?

Tons of info on that site. Avoid Haeundae beach and go to Seongjong beach or Dadaepo. If she likes the view, ride over Gwanganli bridge. (Gwangan daekyo)

You in Pusan for two days???? I guess it depends on where you are staying but....

You could do the hyundae, aquarium (I think the aquarium is worth a look and the ride wasn't too bad either) and then onto Kwangali at night. Kwangali is good at night because the bridge lights up and there are quite a few romantic coffe shops and resturants with nice views.

You could go to the fish market it is very vibrant and don't forget to keep walking until you get to the edge of the pier so you can look out across the harbor. I think chagalchi is best enjoyed by buying some fish and eating it at one of the nearby resturants. Not such a romantic setting but a Pusan style experience. Nampodong, the foreign shopping area is right next to there too and a wander through the market might be to your liking. It's possible to do those two in one day but probably a bit hectic. A taxi from the fish market to Haeundae will set you back about 12,000 won but worth it seeing as it will be your anniversary. Perhaps fish market, nampodong in the morning then hop over to haeundai, do the aquarium and then a romantic dinner in Kwangali.

Fubar is right about Seongjong and dadaepo being more relaxed (I really like Dadaepo) and but these are little further out and not close to anything else. Depends if your into the touristy thing or the chill out thing.

For the other day you recommend go north eastern area and see the temple Beomosa. After that, one really nice romantic thing is to go to KeumJeongPark and just walk around. The grounds are nice and not to busy. You could also catch the cable car up to the top of the mountain and enjoy some traditional Dongrae ParJeon for lunch (it's quite yummy) while enjoying the view of North Eastern Pusan.

Then if you into that sort of thing your really close to the Hurshimchung a really nice relaxing hotspring.

One thing that I think you don't need to see is Pusan Tower but it is near Nampodong if you are so enclined.

I hope you enjoy Pusan. I love it here.

thanks for the suggestions. I have been..BUSY with summer camp and unable to respond to any posts up through today.

Not to nitpick, but it's Haeundae. This time of year, I don't know if you are going to find cheap hotels in the areas around the beach.

If you and your woman are up for something more peaceful, at night after checking out Gwanganli Bridge you can go down to the water and rent a table there, right on the beach and they will get you some cold beers. Or there is a place along the water where you can sit on a patio and catch the view. The only problem: The music/band is horrendous at times.

thanks for the input...we found a really nice place for $155 a night. Not bad. Right on the beach. Our friend recommended it to us.

Have a great anniversary.

There is the Casino for gambling.
At the beach you can rent seadoo's too(pricey but fun)

Take her to dinner at the Marriot hotel(very nice)

Take a night time cruise by the bridge(its spectacular at night when its all lit up.) Majorly romantic.

Wow. I have been inundated with tons of suggestions. I think we'll be ok. Thanks again.
