I'm waiting on a friend from Busan to post some pictures from our hike down there this weekend. In the meantime, I will catch you up:
It was my birthday last Thursday! Thank you everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes through facebook, e-mail or e-cards! Most of all, thank you Mom and Dad! From both of their care packages combined, I received a bunch of black beans, whole wheat tortillas, a bunch of scotch, two bottles of Tapatio Hot Sauce (already running low), two pairs of Levi's and some chili infused dark chocolate. Exactly what I asked for and more!
On Thursday night, I went out for a couple drinks with my friends Young and Brent. We went to the Australian owned bar called Sydney Bar. The owners Mark and Tina really take care of us. Really fun night.
On Saturday after class Brent and I took the bullet train to Busan. We met up with Chris from training and made our way downtown after some rooftop drinking. We had some Mexican food and then met up with Paul from Denver, who was one of the only two people I knew in Korea before this journey, and some of his friends. We played on the beach for a while and danced to some street music before making our way to a club being DJ'ed by two guys from New York. Obviously that wasn't my crowd, so Brent and I met Paul next door for some more typical volume levels and drink prices. Fun night.
The next day Chris, Brent and I met up with Chris's friends Ashlee, Ainsley and Courtney. We went to the Beomeosa Temple. A large and famous temple. It was a great day! Totally perfect weather. I fell in love with one of the smaller temples on the trail. Pictures coming soon!
