Taejondae

One week ago a handful of us went to explore the beautiful cliffs of Taejondae, which also houses the most southern point of Busan.

Here are some pictures:

Not so early risers



Jump shots while waiting for everyone to arrive at Busan station

45-minute bus ride filled with disgusting and obscene 'would-you-rathers.' Conversations have dived into the obscene realm here because it's just assumed no one in earshot can understand you. It's going to be weird coming back to Canada where everyone can understand you and where you can understand everyone around you.



The southern most tip of Busan!!

On the subway ride back from these cliffs we were sitting three and two on either side of the train. A Korean man started talking to Alyssa and me, asking if we were movie stars from somewhere in Europe. We told him we were all English teachers from Canada, motioning to our friends on the other side. He looked across the subway to the three dreary hikers, and then back us with look of visible disdain. Before darting out of the subway angrily he said, "you, you look like movie stars. They look like Gypsies!"

I had a very, very lazy weekend due in part to late, late nights. I think I spent more time in bed than out, and with everyone I knew doing the same, it made it that much harder to get out of my cozy nest. Because you're not supposed to drink the water straight from the tap here (due to it being saturated with heavy metals), one of the worst things after a night of drinking is waking up with out an ounce of drinkable water in your apartment. That happened to me today.
