Korea Day 8 (Sept 24

Mark was stuck working again today (bahaha!), so we had another day to ourselves. This time we decided to check out the main area of the city mark lived in, Changwon. Now some of you may be a little confused since I've been using Masan the entire time. It's basically a small town that has been absorbed into Changwon, but everyone still references Masan by it's name, and all of the signs still say Masan, so it's kind of strange they bothered at all.

Mark dropped us off at a park in the central area, and we had a fairly mellow day just checking out the town.

We walked along a nice peaceful road, and then checked out the local mall… which was pretty insane. 3 cones connected to each other by bridges, the mall was all outside, yet all inside at the same time. Pretty bizarre.


One of the three.



Inside... and yet outside..




There was also a minor art gallery where all the works were done in beeswax, they were pretty sweet.

Skulls!



We hit up some more Mr pizza while we were there.


Delicious seafood pizza!

After that we just walked around, got sorta bored and took a cab back to the Masan area where Mark lived. He wasn't out of work by the time, so we went ahead and hit up the Movie room again and watched "9". It sucked. At least it passed some time though… eventually we met up with Mark and stopped over at Chris's place so we could go get some drinks.

At a fried chicken joint, we played the game "titanic" which involved a glass of beer with a floating shotglass. The idea was to take turns pouring Sojou (a sort of rice vodka) into the drink and whoever sunk the glass, had to drink the mix… the locals even started buying us more liquor.. which we dumped out after they left so we didn't feel like utter crap the next day ;). It was great times.

Monster plate of chicken... soo good, should have gotten more.
