BUSAN PART DOS

Why am I showcasing a cup of coffee?? WELL, it's not just any coffee...CARIBOU COFFEE!!!! I felt like I was home for a minute! Yahoo!


HI, friends! Well, it's crunch time. I have a little over 2 weeks left in Korea. My brain is exhausted from thinking and trying to fit in last minute activities. Leaving anywhere is always stressful. It would be a lot easier if I knew I was coming back, but I haven't made any decisions. My mind changes daily. Go figure.

I went to a film festival in Busan 2 weekends ago. It is the biggest international film festival in Asia. I saw two random movies, one being a documentary through the perspective of a buffolo. It was...interesting. I'm contemplating becoming a vegetarian because of the movie and everything I saw at the fish market earlier that day. I think I'm scarred. We stayed over night in a jinjabong, which is a spa that is cheap and located everywhere. You can stay over night and sleep on the heated wood floor. I slept horrible, but I paid about $5 a night. I can live with that. However, I wasn't excited to wake up to gawkers staring and talking about me. Apparently they thought it was strange to see a foreigner sleeping on the floor.

Buddha will help you find your way, just ask.


Thinking about how cool my house is. (See below)


My crib.


Here is Buddha's room. Clearly, he is kind of obsessed with himself.

Festival/Seafood Market/Beach


Koreans use umbrellas for TWO types of weather- rain and sunshine. Today happens to be a sunny day.




Drying out the squid. Grody.

He is a badass.

We were forced to sit down for some drinks and snacks with this crazy man and his wife. His wife was not happy we were there. We attracted a few gawkers. The man started to get a little inappropriate and his wife got pissed. We were told to leave. Very strange.


It was a great trip. If I come back to Korea next year, I am considering teaching there. Beach + mountains= yes, please.
