JEONJU, South Korea - The Busan IPark drew for the second time this week, as they battled to a 0-0 draw against Jeonbok Motors at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

Following their 0-0 battle against Seoul FC on Wednesday, the IPark have been undefeated in four matches, and have not conceded any goals. However, the offense has also sputtered of late, and managed only to test Jeonbok keeper Kim Min-shik six times.

However, they are resolved to winning games.

"We are playing to win," said Kim Chang-soo.

Jeonbok applied pressure, with 12 shots on keeper Jeon Sang-wook, who recorded his second clean sheet this week.

The IPark now have two wins, four draws and two defeats on the season.

BUSAN, South Korea - Busan City announced two slow city attractions - Bosu-dong Bookstore Alley and Galmaetgil Trail #2 (from the Moontan Road to Oryukdo Cruise Dock) - on March 29, 2012.

Busan City became a member of the “Supporters of Cittaslow” in 2009 and the City has now designated two slow city attractions to promote the slow city movement and to enhance citizens' quality of life. 

The first Slow City attraction, Bosu-dong Bookstore Alley, which is the only used bookstore alley in the country, not only has used books for sale but also a variety of cultural events and convenient facilities. Nearby tourist attractions including Jagalchi Fish Market, Gukje Market and Yongdusan Park are another reason to visit here.  

BUSAN, South Korea -- When I first walked up to the second floor spot of Vito in Seomyeon, I was immediately impressed with the decor. With natural wood tables and Italian designed flatware, the whole restaurant is a wide open space, with the kitchen not really a kitchen, but more a part of the restaurant itself; it is open and inviting to diners as if welcoming them to take part in the whole process.
