day 18: the boxing match

Jean was hungry, and it was 7:30 in the morning. Our bus to Busan left at 8:45, so we had plenty of time to go grab a bite. Well, after eating stew for breakfast (that’s a normal thing here) we went back and found out that our bus actually left at 8:00. We had to wait there for another 4 hours at the bus stop for another bus. Luckily, I am well trained in the art of hang man. We arrived in Busan in the late afternoon and met up with a friend of Jean’s family. He took us to the beach and we walked around the area. Here, different companies own sections of the beach and rent out spots to lounge on where you can try out their products while you swim. Then we went to the aquarium where we watched an excellent rendition of beauty and the beast. Only, they changed the beast into a shark, and made it under water. So, it was more like the little mermaid and the shark. It was funny to hear them sing Americans songs, because I had no idea what they were singing, even though it was in English. The pronunciation was terrible. The shopping here is crazy and the Sashimi is amazing. We had dinner at a little sushi restaurant on the beach and I swallowed down some live octopus. Everybody should have a go at that. It’s kind of having a little boxing match in your mouth.
