It was a FANTASTIC weekend here in Korea! It really feels like the middle of the summer with the weather consistently being above 26 for the past week. We headed off to Busan to enjoy the nice weather. We got a hotel by the Haeundae beach. Well, it was really a love motel which we desperately need to make a movie out of. Here in Korea, love motels are frowned upon because they're associated with cheating spouses and secrecy. For foreigners though, they're a dream! For $50 we got a room right by the beach with a huge flat screen tv, computer, as many dvds as we wanted and a complimentary bag with toothbrushes, razors, hair accessories and every other toiletry you would need overnight.
This was one of those rare occasions where there were SO many restaurants we just didn't know what to eat! We went to T.G.I Fridays which was great and definitely a change. It even overlooked the ocean. We also tried this amazing place called where you can make your own ice cream.
We hung out at the beach and at times, we forgot we were in Korea....looking at the green-blue water and mountains in the distance, we felt like we were in some tropical area! Afterward, we went to an area called Nampodong where we shopped, had some great sandwiches and then headed back to the bus terminal. It was a great birthday weekend!
The only negative thing we experienced was the crazy taxi drivers. Being in fear for our lives is nothing new to us when sitting in the backseat of a taxi cab. This was a whole different level though. Our taxi driver actually skidded to a stop making the tires squeal and then had to pump the break to move it again. He weaved in and out of a two-lane highway going more than 120km/hr when the speed limit was 80.
Other than that though, it was a perfect weekend!! Will post some pictures soon!
