Marli in Korea

Ok for some insane reason –it never happens to me- have I been either way to busy or way to lazy to blog. I think it might be the second one but lets ignore it. Look at the positive, I could have been lazy and busy together.

So many things have happened since my last blog, but most special, my dear friend Marli came to visit.

 It was probably the longest trip to the airport as I have been waiting for this day from my first day in Korea! And what an awesome feeling it was seeing her arrive and walking through those gates! We stayed in the most dodgy motel ever but perfect location.

 Had a 5 star, 5 course meal up in Seoul tour! The view, indescribable. Then hit Seoul Sunday morning, walking the streets of Myeongdong, Seoul plaza, Seoul underground shopping and visited a historical sight, all being soaking wet. 

Not even the rain could stop us. Finally, exhausted and wet made our way to the Nambu bus station at 6 to find the busses are all sold out until 12!! So we ended up spending about 5 and a half hours in a coffee shop….

We managed to go to Oede Island! A first time for me as well. The scenery was breath taking, the creativity astonishing and the boat ride CRAZY. First we had to deal with the ajuma’s all eating dried out octopus, then falling asleep falling all over the place, and then we were lucky enough to see them all get sick on the boat as well! Senior citizens in Korea = weird!!!!

We were also amazed by the driving skills of the captain; he takes you right into this small cave in the rocks!! You can touch the rocks on the sides of the boat, and then he backs out of the cave again, with waves coming in! Was way cool!

The weekend we hit Busan! I do love Busan! Biff shopping area, even found a hang ten store. Went to jagalchi fish market (something like the biggest fish market in the world I think) then Heaundae beach. We took a boat ride out, went to the aquarium. Had beer on the beach. Had a big motel room and just all in all Busan was an awesome place to hang out!

Two weeks came to an end way to soon! Most difficult part was to say goodbye to a truly loved and adored friend.

 6 months and we will meet up again! Miss you already! Than you for allowing me to share Korea with you!
