Gettin' Arty at the Gamcheon Culture Village

I was sitting in Busan one day naively thinking I'd seen it all, when this wonderful city surprised me with something new yet again.

Patbingsu, a Summer Treat for Me and You!

Summer is coming, and so is that hot, hot heat. Sweeten the transition with this tasty summer treat.

Soon you'll be spending days dreaming of lounging on the beach and of central air-conditioning, but what about all those  land-locked, city-dwellers without central air? What are they to do? As the weather warms up why not cool down the Korean way with some tasty patbingsu?
