Icis: Natural Mineral Water by LOTTE

Watched a guy climb with a broken hand and removable cast...that is until mid-climb took his cast off.

Went climbing at the sea cliffs again.

Went climbing up a mountain again. There is this place that is pretty remote in Busan. You can catch a bus just in front of Home Plus Shopping Center and the subway. The bus takes 10-15 minutes or so and you are at the top of a mountain in the trees. You can only see the city if you make it to the top of the climb.

Went surfing again...got up a few times. Saw a jellyfish.

Played sand volleyball a few times. Was in a tournament and got second place =( Was told that our team wasn't fair because it was stacked (took that as a compliment)

Had a french couch surfer name Jean that was making a visa run for Japan. Had two couch surfing girls (Anna and Anh) from Missouri that had just finished their foreign exchange semester up in Seoul.

Thought about getting car, thought about getting a scooter, thought about getting a car, now I'm back to thinking about getting a scooter. Probably buy one when I get back from Thailand.

Oh yeah, bought a plane ticket to Thailand for my summer vacation.

Played a Korean version of the claw game where you get stuffed animals. Korea puts worth while things in their games though. I won a watch and a plane ticket to Jeju Island and a 24 car rental when I get there. (~$0.50 game...not too bad)

Stood in the rain twice waiting for my ride. Once without an umbrella, the other with an umbrella that leaked...still beautiful.

Found a gym in my town that is 20,000 won/month to use. ($15 give or take)

Waited 14 days to write on my blog and tried to put things in order but probably did a really terrible job at it.

I guess that is if for now...hopefully I won't wait so long next time.

  1. Hello! My name is Jenny Joo. My friend Pamela Thompson gave me your blog site to visit and to say Hi to you. She's a member of your church here in Pittsburg. I went to Korea in 2006 as an exchange student and stayed for 6 months, then went back during the winter of 2007 to visit my boyfriend's parents (who is now my husband). There can be some interesting times in Korea! How is everything going for you? I hope I don't seem scary! :) I just like to hear about people's experiences in Korea and help if I can in anyway. My husband is from Changwon, near Busan,and I spent most of my time in Seoul. I loved it and loved working with the kids there. It was always interesting and unique. If you have any questions about the area or culture we would be glad to help. We've definitely ran into everything about culture differences while trying to blend into a marriage! I hope things are going well for you and that you're having a great experience!

    A lot of the pictures are gone, but it'll tell you a little about me and what I was doing if you want to check it out!
