lucky (?) bus number seven

so after work today i decided to explore Gimhae a little bit... how did i plan on it? well, i just got on a bus and went where it took me... unfortunately i got on the wrong bus... number seven... had i gotten on the eight or the one or two my ride would have been about ten minutes but since i got on the lucky number seven it took 45 minutes! oh well, that's part of the experience and a little funny actually... so i ended up in what i think was "downtown gimhae" - a very nice area with expensive shops and lots of restaurants...

i did walk further "out" of the main area and found a lovely little river with a cool bridge going over it - not to mention the smaller 'stone bridge' right next to it, and couldn't resist going across it.











of course, i was hungry since it was way past dinner time so i stopped at a little stand (where other people were eating) and got some chicken on a stick... they also had fries on a stick (wish i knew how they kept them together like that) but thought they were a bit too odd looking and the chicken was greasy enough.








and i couldn't resist taking a pic of this shop selling all kinds of herbs and what appear to be sticks but must be spices or herbs or something, i thought it looked very "korean"...
