Busan and the beach!

Our three day trip to Busan (over Budda's birthday weekend) was plagued by continuous rain, but through it all...was a great trip! We took the KTX ("bullet") train for the 2 1/2 hour journey south on Friday morning. We arrived to sunshine and heat so decided to get in some beach time. After locating our tiny hotel, which had an even tinier sign in English, we hit the beach for our first (and unknowingly last) beach day. Gwangalli Beach was beautiful though the water wasn't the cleanest. We stayed on shore and played Frisbee mostly. For dinner was got to join up with some friends we've met who live in Seoul, Lexi and Iassac. That night there were fireworks on the beach :)

The rain started (and never stopped) on Saturday. We went to the Busan Aquarium, along with about a million other Korean kids and parents. For dinner we headed to the Jalgachi Fish Market, one of the biggest in Asia! It was AWESOME! We picked a live fish, they chopped its head off in front of us, and we went upstairs to the restaurant while they cooked it. YUMMY!!!

Sunday was mainly shopping and going to see "Robin Hood." Barely made in back in time for class on Monday morning. Wonderful trip to the beach, regardless of the rain...
