Since the 6th of this month was a holiday, a few friends and I decided to spend some time in Busan. There were two main things on my Busan agenda: Thai food and gay bars. (Yeosu has neither.)
Thai food was first. Accompanied by my friends Kaylyn, Carly, and Tessa, together we hunted down the restaurant that was, according to the internet, supposed to be great. It wasn't. I could go into how the tiny, expensive food took an hour and forty-five minutes to deliver, or how it was delivered in confusing phases, or how we talked people out of eating there as we were walking out, but I won't...
To console ourselves, we walked the four blocks to the beach, picking up beers along the way, and took in the SAND CASTLE FESTIVAL (!!!!!) that was going on. And, of course, got a little buzz on.
After the beach, we decided a second, fulfilling meal was called for, and there just HAPPENED to be a Mexican joint nearby. We all ate burritos, and shared a big pitcher of Margaritas. It was amazeballs.
We then retired to the hostel for a at nap before we headed out to the gay area - which we got lost trying to find. Luckily, during the search we passed another group of westerners who, judging from the V-neck shirts and cuffed pants, were looking for the same place. They too were just in Busan for the weekend, having come down from Incheon. We teamed up and together found the seedy little alley where a couple doors with rainbow flags could be found. We grabbed a drink at Banana Bar, and I began to flirt with a cute Canadian fellow we'd just met. Numbers were exchanged, drinks were bought. Eventually we wound up on a beach where an old woman sold us fireworks which we shot off into the night sky over the water. Oh, and Rich and I made out in the sand. (Fireworks = aphradesiac.)
The next morning was an American-style brunch (french toast!) and more beach time before BARELY making it to the station in time to catch our bus back to the 'Su. (It should be mentioned that Tessa pulled a Breakfast Club type of skid-stop in the midst of our hurrying.) We returned to Yeosu without incident, and I began counting down the days until the promise of awesomeness that the next weekend held. Stay tuned for another hastily written, poorly composed catch-up blog!
