There is a website, pusanweb.com, that has various information about Busan. It has calendars with festival information, movie reviews, forums and places for listing ads of various sorts. Now, most of the people that I know do not live in Busan, they live in Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Ulsan, etc. So I had posted two ads, one for looking for more tutoring work and another looking for people in Busan to chat with and such. ANYWAYS, from the people who contacted me, one had been a regular to the pusanweb site. This is Min. I liked this photo, I think its in Aussie.
They were planning on having a beach party in Busan, but not at one of the popular beaches, Haeundae, Gwanganli, but to somewhere that is a little more out of the way and popular with locals. We were supposed to have a beach party. So I went to where I was supposed to meet people, right on time might I add, and of course, being on “Korean time” I had to wait for a little bit. Min shows up (the guy who had invited me) and we go with his friend (nicknamed Marine Boy cause he was in the Korean marines) to pick up a tent (?) and food for BBQ. We finally get to the beach, and its not really a beach, but a rocky shore… hmmm. Not like over the mountain in the valley… Kind of like at Peggy’s Cove, but the rocks aren’t smoothed out from the waves (im talking about the part of Peggy’s Cove down by the water, where the rocks are uneven and you have to like, climb over them). 
Anyways, so there were a good number of people there but they were decently spread out. Everyone had little tents set up, for changing or keeping stuff, one group of girls said they were staying overnight. So as soon as the tent was up I changed and we went to the water. It was sooo cold. The waves were fun tho. But lots of salty water in my eyes. Lots of tiny fish but you couldn’t feel them. But I could feel the seaweed and I yelped every time it touched me or I touched a seaweedy rock, of course I did. The water was sooo cold. By the time we had gotten to the “beach” the sun had gone in, so it was hot and muggy but not sunny hot for swimming. Once I got out, I was out btut he boys kept going back to swim. Marine Boy (they say marine more like Ma-rin) is like a fish :)

So then out comes the little bbq, and the boys start to cook the meat, most people like bigger pieces of meat but they cut it little for me :) soo sweet :) So we eat meat, and mushrooms, and weird sausages. Sharing the meat with anyone who happens to walk by. And we drink the bottle of Dominican rum that I brought from.. ta-da! the Dominican Republic. Very good. Min, me, & Marine eating... oooh look at me with the chopsticks, everyone in Korea is always surprised that I can use then- and use them well!
The second pictureis one of the ladies Min stopped and offered meat to. And Rum. She was funny. She owns a traditional Korean restaurant near this place.
Another friend shows up for a little bit. But barely says anything to me, and doesnstay very long…Then another friend comes. This friend, who apparently now, we are calling Red or Marlboro Man (??)
and they start talking and apparently arguing. Min says they are just talking about highschool stuff, girl this & that, etc. But the “innocent” arguing ends up making Marine Boy leave. Not impressed. So we hang out there some more, Red brings a cool battery lighty things. And when we start to clean up, he makes me like the statue of liberty or something, I get to hold the light, that was my job :P it was very dark by this time.(oh, by this point I have already changed out of the swimsuit into red fitted tee and short black skirt that my mum bought me)
we go to a bar, have a little soju and chicken I think… maybe pork… and Red says he is sleepy (he was out drinking all day with work people I think) So Min and I drink for a bit and eat the chicken stuff.
Very nice day.
Ok now I have the pics. Yay. I cant find the ones I took of the shore tho. I will check my camera after Jeju Island!!! and post if I find them :p
