Our Danny's G-Star 2014 adventure in Busan, South Korea

Our Danny's G-Star 2014 adventure in Busan, South Korea

Every so often we send off superhero Community Manager Danny Russell on an adventure. Last time we sent him to try out some Monster Hunter-themed food and video his reactions.

This time we sent him to Korea.

Don't worry though, we sent him to the nice bit... y'know... in the South.

Specifically we sent him to G-Star 2014, a huge event attended by tens of thousands of Korean gaming enthusiasts.

We'll have coverage of the games he saw there here on AppSpy soon no doubt (and over on Pocket Gamer too), but for the time being we thought we'd bring you a collage of the sights and sounds from his trip to Busan, via the magic of social media.

Danny sets off..

Danny described the city skyline as "like Casino Night Zone"....
  Busan's neon cityscape puts Shinjuku to shame.

... so he took a fair few snaps of the sights..
  Abandoned in Busan, but that's okay.

Danny did make time to visit the aquarium while in Busan though. Here's a shark enjoying the festive season....

Apparently he got someone to watch his house while he was away too. Fool..

You can follow more of Danny's antics on Twitter. And you probably should.
