Introducing Busan

With over 3.6 million people, Busan is South Korea’s second largest city and largest seaport. Busan is known for its beaches, hot springs, nature reserves and events such as the city’s renowned international film festival held each fall.

Busan is a good destination for those seeking a more laid back atmosphere than Seoul. The city is located at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula ~ wikitravel.org/en/Busan

Busan became a well known to Malaysians as a location for tourists after the 2016 South Korean zombie apocalypse action thriller “Train to Busan”.

For a different intro to this city, I am using a drawing of the film’s megastar Gong Yoo (stage name) drawn by my friend freelance artist and lawyer by day, Lim Chin Han on Fb and @chinhan10.art.poetry on IG. See her gallery for many more amazing lifelike drawings.

This pic was drawn based on a picture from tv’s “Goblin” – Guardian: The Lonely and Great God.

The intrepid artist is also a fan and walking expert on her idol. She told me Gong Yoo is in fact is from and born in Busan.

Singapore’s Urban Sketchers

Singapore’s Urban Sketchers

At Al Waldi Restaurant, I met a Singapore street sketcher. As she sketched the “putu piring” making kiosk and as I photographed it, we had a brief conversation. Just like in KL, there is now a growing community of street sketchers. It is a great way of documenting a cultural activity and heritage architectural subjects. They are also known as urban sketchers and its is usually done on location.

Only people I know into street sketching on my FB are Lim Chin Han, Victor Chin and perhaps Merilyn PL Ng. Let me know if you are one.

Anyone from the community can recognize this lady? I like to credit her and to connect with her to see more of her sketches. I should have sketched her name somewhere. I think I did and lost the coffee shop’s chope tissue.
