Namcheon Beach. This area is about a 10 minute walk from Brianna's apartment. Notice the obvious lack of Korean people present, despite the fact that it was 30 degrees and humid that day. I bet the man in this picture would be very excited to learn that he is now famous via my blog.
This guy was awesome! He kept zipping along the water on this strange toy that looked like some type of sea-doo/surf board hybrid. We were totally jealous of how much fun he was having. I shall go back and befriend him, if only to take a turn on the water scooter.
Each time he whipped by he would pose in a different position: standing tall with one leg in the air, lying on his back with his arms behind his head, sitting cross-legged and waving...what a charmer.
Beer and liquor here are available at every convenience and grocery store, 24 hours a day - nothing like Canada! Brianna was particulary impressed that she could still get her MGD on, Korea style.
HITE! South Korea's domestic beer of choice. These massive 1.5 litre pitchers of Hite cost about $3 (CDN) a pop. Booze here is so dirt cheap, it's no wonder I'm forced to navigate through so many rosy-cheeked Korean men who stumble home each night.
One thing I adore about the Koreans is how extremely literal they are. Packages at the grocery store read things like "Very spicey but a little bit sweet" or "Delicious! You will want to eat the whole thing". So it's really no shocker to see a giant clay crab hanging outside a restaurant that serves - you guessed it - crab!
This is THE ferris wheel we spotted from a mile or so away while still at Namcheon Beach. Such a great find! We ditched our plans to go to a comedy club that night so that we could catch a ride.
Finding the ferris wheel entrance was an event all it's own. We (and by "we" I mean "I") were convinced that climbing straight up this mountain trail would lead us to the right spot...
It didn't.
But in the end - success! Our view of Busan Bridge from the top of the wheel was well worth the trek.
