Last weekend, Amy, Lin, Andy, Naomi and I traveled to Busan to see their annual fireworks festival. Last year, Naomi, Amy and I really enjoyed it, so we were excited to return. We took the Mugungwha train on Friday night. At 5 hours, it’s slower than the 2 1/2 hour KTX, but half the price, so we were sold.
Lin booked a great room earlier in the week, and it was only a 3-minute walk to Gwanganli beach (where the fireworks were taking place)! It was great, except for the fact it rained all day Saturday.
So instead of seeing famous places like Taejongdae and Gamcheong 2-dong, we spent the day indoors:
1. Ate a nice, hot breakfast at the Wolfhound (near Haeundae beach). Amy and I were both craving a Western breakfast, so this was perfect.
2. Went to the movies. We watched Paranormal Activity 3. Good stuff.
3. Had tarot done. Amy had never done this, and since Lin was with us, he could translate. 1 word: Whatajoke. Even though I still kind of like this stuff.
4. Went back to Gwanganli. Ate Pajeon and drank Makgeolli for dinner. Yum.
5. Found a spot on the beach – which was easy to do because the rain stopped just minutes before – drank and enjoyed the fireworks.
It was a good weekend despite the weather. Good friends, good fun.
