Turtle neck posture correction at Bodydeem, a Haeundae body care

Bodydeem Recovery is a 100% reservation-only 1:1 body correction center in Haeundae, Busan, located in Room 920 of Cartium on Jangsan. The writer's husband, who suffers from turtle neck and a stiff lower back, went through the four-step program — consultation and body check, full-body deep release, customized body care, and movement training. The best part was that Bodydeem doesn't just loosen the body, it also teaches stretches to keep using at home.

Chinese-style bar in Gwangalli, Busan with Peking duck: Mirim Yangjang

Mirim Yangjang (미림양장) Gwangalli branch is a Chinese-style bar in Suyeong, Busan, that took over the name of an old tailor's shop that once stood in its place. Half a Peking duck, eggplant fritters, and a cucumber and wood ear mushroom salad made for a satisfying rotation of rich, spicy, and refreshing flavors, with the fun of wrapping duck in wheat pancakes on top. It's a Gwangalli spot that works equally well for a work dinner or a date, since the dishes are made for sharing.

The verdict: even after getting famous, the taste hasn't changed at all.

It's worth a stop in Seomyeon after a meal for a light snack, or to grab a box to share.
