Well, I didn't know Haeundae was the Ayia Napa of Korea. I knew my hotel was near a beach... but resort? The everywhere-music did not stop til gone 5am again this morning; its mid-season and Haeundae throngs with Korean 20somethings away for a few days to get laid and wasted. Oops!! But where does that leave me?
I'm in a mixed 6-bed dorm. Friday was ok. But the guesthouse was full on Sat and Sun and they put 5 American young ladies in with me. Oh dear.
Yeah right!! I felt very uncomfortable and I could hear mutterings and see glances coming my way. Ho hum!
I did what I was doing on the computer with the females gossipping together in the large lounge behind me, I just wandered over - didn't introduce myself or say a big hi! I'm your roomy or anything naff... just joined in the conversation. An hour later we had finished a bottle of vodka (did I say never again?) and they went out clubbing promising to be like mice when they got in. It was really no prob.. a bit uncomfortable, a bit embarassing and quite funny, but no prob. Of course, I was the perfect English gentleman.
They are gone now. They are all English teachers working in Seoul away for a few days. And, so, I have guys with me again - bet they snore!!!
Went to the Korean version of the great wall yesterday, Geumjeonsanseong Fortress, climbed to 1500' (phew! so hot!) and saw the most amazing view of Busan.
Today I went on a boat trip around the bay overlooking Busan.
I have been to the port and confirmed my berth to Japan tomorrow. Ah so!
That probably makes me half way on my journey now, so in a way I feel that I am heading home. Once in Japan I will have travelled 10,000K.
I've still got free internet so I'll prob put some photos on, I took a wonderful nightime one half an hour ago from Dongbaek Park.
