A Brief, Cold Trip to the Beach

Since we finally had a Saturday off we decided to make the most of it and planned a trip with Matt and Melissa. We decided to go to Busan..a city on the coast with beautiful beaches. The plan was to leave early Saturday morning and spend two glorious days skipping and dancing in the sunshine in beautiful Busan. Well, we messed it up before we even left Daegu.

Friday night the four of us went out with our friend Dan who is visiting Korea from Canada. We headed downtown promising that we would all be home and asleep by 2am. I vaguely remember 2am....and from what I remember, Matt was saying "more beer", and I was describing how sometimes you don't know how drunk you are until you stand up. At 3am Matt was saying "one more beer" and I was thinking I may need to cut myself off soon. At 4am we were all inside a kimbap shop eating a lot of food. And as the sun came up at 5:30, Brett and I finally got home, while remarking on how time flies in Korea.

So our early start was pushed to a "noonish" start. Well, when "noonish" came, Matt was not feeling so well and the rest of us didn't feel like rushing. It was more six-ish by the time we all left Daegu, so we arrived in Busan in time for dinner. A late start, but that's ok!



Our plans were then further hindered by the fact the sunshine was on strike. Just would not shine. But we didn't let it get us down. We bundled up in our sweaters and jackets and explored the beach and the city in the wind and the cold. We had a look at some nasty fish in the aquarium and made the locals stare by performing some leaps and jumps on the beach (they were going to stare at us anyway, so we thought we might as well give them something interesting to look at). It was a good trip, although we will have to return another time and actually relax on the beach instead of shiver.
