What do you do when the sky is gray all the time, it’s raining, and your mood isn’t at its best level? Right, you go pet a cat. Or fish. There’s no shortag of both in these two attractions in Busan 😉

Andong is a town for South Korean standards. Why did I go to a town? To experience traditional Korean culture 🙂
