Stopped to just stare out at the water in Huinnyeoul Culture Village. It’s wild to think this peaceful coastal stretch was once a wartime refuge. Now, it’s this beautiful seaside escape where you can just pause and breathe.
“Having Moment” has been pinned on my map since before this Busan trip was even fully planned. I can’t even remember where I originally found the recommendation, but I’m so glad I made it. The front entrance is right by the bus stop and can feel a bit crowded with people figuring out their routes, but once you step inside, it completely opens up. It’s surprisingly spacious, from the rooftop all the way to the seaside windows.
Managed to get incredibly lucky and snagged a seat right facing the water. Ordered their signature black sesame cream latte. The roasted sesame foam on top is an absolute must—it instantly melted a heavy, hot day into the perfect sunny afternoon.
Sat there for a while just watching the ocean and the ships sailing slowly across the horizon. It completely quieted my thoughts. A sketchbook can’t fully capture that specific kind of calm, but just looking at the ink on the page brings the feeling right back.
