Off We Went

Dan and I will get 10 days vacation during the year we are hear (not including national holidays and long weekends), and our first five came early during our time here. So much so that Dan hasn't even been paid yet, and my first cheque wasn't a full one, so we had to look at our "resources" and plan appropriately.

So as opposed to going to the South Pacific, off to Thailand or to see the Great Wall in China, we decided to see the country we will spend the next 10 months in. We live in the NW corner of Korea in Seoul and we decided to traverse the country and hit up Pusan (also spelt Busan) on the opposite side. It would be in Busan where we would find beaches to relax and simply have the opportunity to get out of the pollution that tends to linger over Seoul, while also riding a bullet train across the country and seeing what we could of the country side while whizzing by at 300.3 km/H.

The most inviting part of this for me was the thought of sitting on a beach. This tends to be the case anywhere I go. I love being in the surf, or just sitting on the beach listening to the surf. It is one of the most relaxing things that you can do. But it is hard when there really isn't much surf at all, worse yet when there is a constant pouring rain. This is essentially what happened. We were there for three days and had to spend one of them going from attraction to attraction indoors to try and wait off the rain, and just for the record, this wasn't drizzle. So the potential for a good few days at the beach ended up being a day doing attractions, then another day doing the same, then sucking it up on the last day and doing the beach, despite the clouds. Let's just say that I wish California was an option.

Anyway, we are back in Seoul now and will get a chance to see some of the sights around here which we haven't seen yet, and just relax at home for a few days.

So give us a call, send us an email, we got some time now.
I got nothing else to say
