Seojeong Beach (서정), Busan + Jasmine/Buddha's Birthday

We went down to Busan for a 3-day weekend (for Buddha's Birthday....yes...Buddha has a birthday). Buddha's day of birth also coincided with one of my most favoritest people I've had the fortune of knowing this year, Ms. Jasmine LaRue Hagans. And what a better way to celebrate a day of birth than drinking on a beach and then eating pizza on another beach and then visiting a friend's new bar and then seeing live music? I got drunk not once, ladies and gentlemen, but twice on Friday!

Busan is a cool town but unfortunately for us, the next few days didn't have such beautiful weather. We spent most of Saturday in a TGIFridays and a mall, and the majority of Sunday in a Chinese Restaurant (albeit we spent Friday and Saturday there too) and a Starbucks. What the cuss Rain Gods?! I'll be back, Busan...and Scott...


AMUURICA, FUCK YEAH



We were the only people on the entire beach wearing swimsuits. Yes, Koreans swim in all their clothes.

Headed to Busan for Buddha's Birthday...

Hwanseon Cave (환선굴) or "Rave in a Cave"

As part of our two-day excursion to Korea's east coast in Gangwon Province, we visited Hwanseon Cave - the largest limestone cave in Korea and one of the biggest in Asia at 8km in length. It was flippin sweet. Caves are my all-time favorite naturally occurring Earth formation and this was one of the coolest I've ever seen...

In and Around Samcheok (삼척시)

Samcheok is a quiet little town in Gangwon Province on the East Coast....we found an awesome fish market (fresh as hell and beats the pants off the one in Seoul...in my humble opinion), a funky early 90s bridge, a great beach, and an incredible jimjilbang.  We were the ONLY wayguken we saw all weekend - got tons of stares from the locals but the people here were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to help us when we were lost (which was often).





I guess they were staging a coup...

Samcheok Beach (삼척시)

This place was deserted in mid-May, but come summer, its going to be swarming with people. I honestly didn't think I would see such beautiful water in Korea, but there ya go.

East Coast Adventure

This past weekend I went to the East coast of Korea (which is the Pacific for those of you who may not be so geographically-inclined), specifically the quiet city of Samcheok. While the travel gods were not with us this time, Josh, Zak, Helen and I had an amazing time - the weather was perfect and we got to see a less traditional (if you will) side of Korea.

This is my new friend/travel guide/discount coupon: Josh :)
