Briefly before heading out, we watched a short documentary on North Korea. Being so close to such a place when you're in an area like South Korea is absolutely mind blowing. The complete and utter dedication (slavery) that the north korean people follow for their glorious leader is absurd and really one of the saddest things in the modern world today. The contrast between the two is staggering. We had talked about checking out the DMZ, but we didn't really want to dedicate an entire day to crossing the border. I also really HATE the idea at all that North Korean dictatorship would profit off of my petty curiosity.
The four of us set out once again shortly after waking up to the beautiful city of Busan. Upon arrival mark gave us the ropes about where to go, the bus station and all sorts of other goodies. The reason being is that both of us would be spending the night here while Mark and Keziah went back since they had to work the next day. I am pretty stoked.
After our tutorial we went once again to some authentic Korean cuisine… KFC! We had some Tower Burgers, and cold tasteless fries , but it was quick and we were absolutely starving.
look! even the drink is in a bag, haha
Afterwords we decided to go shoppin and check out all of the local stores. I am one for hating knickknacks, but… technological knickknacks? count me in!
USB drive transformer! hell yeah!Amy picked up some goodies for friends, and I proceeded to selfishly shop for myself and get some neat clothes/stuff.
I picked up a shirt and they hand tailored it for me on the spot, very nice :D.
After some shopping we decided we'd go check out the local bookmarked.. which was closed. However, it was kind of fortuitous because when all the shops shutters are down, it displayed one of the most badass graffiti galleries ever! Once again many, many pictures were taken.

I don't really have much of a reason to put this one up, other than I think it's pretty great =).
About this time it was getting lunchy/dinnery so we needed to find some kickass cuisine to feast upon. Korean barbecue? Hell yeah! Once again another amazing setup, with a billion sides (which, by the way, koreans LOVE their sides, you get more sides than main dishes: picture). We were able to cook our own meal and then promptly eat it. We ate a bunch… even Dajong got some.
Already it was getting kind of late, so Mark led us over to the beach to help us find a hotel. He got us one he had rented in the past , which has an absolutely gorgeous view. After getting accommodations we said our goobyes, they headed out and we walked the beach for a bit. Tommorrow, Busan day 2! Amy/Jesse only!
