Something to think about


Aaron, my Chinese friend from Seoul (the guy on the right) came down for the weekend. He'd never been to Busan/Pusan (however you want to spell it) and had printed out a list of things to do and see.

It was a good weekend.

Most exciting part: Sitting on a ferry, watching a shouting match develop right next to us between a bunch of old drunk Korean men, all dressed in suits, out for an afternoon with their wives. I was pretty sure the fight had something to do with me in some way shape or form, as I heard the words "foreigner" and "American" being thrown around, but Aaron didn't think it had anything to do with us.

Most eye-opening part: I have an extra mattress in my room, so I let Aaron sleep on that. Listening to him sleep-talk in Chinese throughout different portions of the night was intriguing.

Most adventurous part: Eating a food that moves. Video will be posted shortly.

Most deja-vu-ish part: Going to all these touristy places with a guy, and noticing that I am surrounded by couples. I can't tell you how many times I've been in this situation in Korea, Costa Rica, America, etc.
