Busan

So I am officially done with my contract! YAAAAAAAAY....sort of. Yes I'm a bit sad. I'll miss my students a lot and my coworkers as well. But time to move on, move up and who knows, maybe move back....yeah...

So to celebrate my impending return I have decided to visit one new place everyday so I can take pictures. Last week I went to Busan with some friends. Unfortunately while we were on the beach I forgot my camera but my friends brought theirs so I can still show you some pics courtesy of facebook.

So I started out at 6am to catch the train at Seoul Station.

...yeah way too early in the morning for me to actually try to look good in a picture....anyhoo, I caught the KTX and it was about a 3hr train ride down to Busan. It was actually a very beautiful ride but alas I fell asleep instead of taking pictures....sue me...

As soon as I stepped off the train I could smell the ocean. It smelled amazing. It was the first time I had seen the beach in so long thanks to living in a landlocked state.

Went through several tunnels to get to Songjeong beach where I was meeting my friends. After I met up with them we headed to Haeundae Beach where we got a hotel room...

On the way got stalked by a Chungdahm bus....why won't work just LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

Our hotel room was of course a bit sketch with the 'mood lights' and free condoms, but overall it was actually pretty nice...and no the thing in the middle of the bed is not a vibrator...it's the tv/light remote...promise...

After that we swam a little, took some fun photo booth pics and grabbed lunch at TGIFridays that overlooked Haeundae beach. It was such a nice day. The weather really made me feel much more relaxed and happy. It was easy to look back at my experience here in Korea and smile at all the great people I had met...

I have about two more posts backlogged. Actually on the way home from Busan I started feeling sick and have been pretty much stuck at home since with the flu and have just now been able to really get out and about. More next time=^^=
