Let me tell you about Ulsan

Lately, as part of my tour research, I've been exploring a different city every week. This time, I found myself back in Ulsan, my hometown. While some things have changed, a lot remains unchanged. I paid a visit to my old elementary school and had a chance encounter with the lady from the Stationery store. To my surprise, she recognized me as well, which was heartwarming.

Right across from the school, there's a snack shop known as "분식집," which I used to frequent. I truly missed the budget-friendly street food and delightful snacks it offered. The flavors were exceptional, and it dawned on me that introducing authentic Korean street food like this to others would be an amazing experience.

One of the highlights of my trip down memory lane was a visit to Daewangam Park. This spot used to be a favorite for picnics during my school days. The beauty of the place, which I hadn't fully appreciated before, left me in awe. The rugged beauty of the rocks and the panoramic view of the coastline were simply breathtaking. The park also boasts a splendid public garden, adorned with a rich variety of vibrant flowers and towering trees.

Wrapping up the day, I had the pleasure of savoring a fusion meal at a friend's restaurant @me___im where Italian and Korean flavors mingled to create a unique dining experience. It was an ideal way to conclude an already perfect day. With all these wonderful experiences in mind, I'm convinced that Ulsan has all the potential to be a remarkable addition to my tour offerings.
