Weekend Trip to Busan 04Feb11

Took an overnight trip to Busan to explore a little and get the tour from Todd and Hyunji Keonig, who live there.  Had a great time eating, shooting roman candles on the beach, riding a carnival ride similar to the sea dragon, and ending up at a Hof (Korean type bar) to polish off about 8 kettles of rice wine.  Thanks Todd and Hyunji for the Busan tour, can't wait to get back!

Some sort of artwork in the lobby, lots of little people.

View from our room. The day was really hazy for some reason.



Really nice beach in town.



Same beach, but the water view.

The roman candle posse.

Hey lemme ride that donkey donkaaaay!

The appetizers at the Hof.  Korean pancake, kimchi,
peppers, raddish, soup, and yes larvae.  The bowls with
 the white liquid is the rice wine....you mix it with cider in the 
stainless kettle on the table and just drink it out of the bowls.

Close up shot of the larvae.

Turtle going for it on the larvae.  We both ate one, not
very tasty, but not as bad as we thought it would be. 
Now we can say we've eaten bugs.  Yipee.

Hyunji and Shawn.

For some reason, these strangers wanted us to come
over to their table.  They didn't speak any English, but
we drank a few shots of Soju with them before they were
off to the karoake bar. 

I still kinda don't know what's going on, but it was fun.
