Another Week in Korea, and Another Week Behind...

After Saturday night / Sunday morning of drinking, I woke up and headed down to Yangsan for my holidays! It’s going to fantastic! A week off of school and I get to be with my family and later, my friends are coming to Busan, and we are going to party here! Sounds like a good week and it was!
I hopped on the KTX (Korea’s express train connecting Busan and Seoul). I got to Yangsan, and enjoyed a lovely meal with my aunt, mom, and sister. We had sushi! The next day my sister took me to a huge shopping area in Busan! I swear all Koreans do is shop! All Asians do is shop! But it was great> I got a shirt to wear to a wedding, and my sister got shoes and dresses. By the time we were done, we were exhausted.
We called it a night early because we got defaulted into helping with my cousin’s engagement photos. I didn’t mind it so much. It kinda reminded me of my photography days. I just hated the fact that I had to get up at 6:30 in the morning, but I slept at the studio so I was fine! My sister and I really didn’t do anything… we just hung out by ourselves; we photobombed other couples here and there. Haha. After the photoshoot, my sister and mommy headed to my hometown to see family; I stayed back and went to do some night beach! I love night beach! I went to see my friends coming in from Seoul! I wasn’t aware of how late they were going to be, so I waited for awhile, but being by myself at night on the beach made me really think a lot about how good my life was!! I saw them and headed back home!
The next day, which was Wednesday (September 18, 2013), I went down to see my friends in Busan again! I saw them at the beach, and we enjoyed some good seafood! We hung out and next thing you, it was nighttime, and we needed to drink and dance! And that’s exactly what we did! We danced and danced and drank and drank some more! When we were done, we all felt gross and sticky, so we took a dip in the beach (clothing optional). After our little dip, I was going to head over to a Jimjilbong to sleep, so the group followed me there and we spent the night!
Next thing I know, I am awake and headed over to a bus station where I can get my ticket to Masan for the Chusok Holiday! I got there in the morning, and from there on out, it was just food, food, food, food, and more food! All of my Extended family came, and enjoyed a lovely meal and each other’s company!
I spent the night there, and waited for round two of the family gathering. More people came and we enjoyed hardy lunch. A nap later, I headed back to Busan to see my friends and hit up a club!
Club Hive was all right!! Good music and I danced my a$$ off! Saturday morning, I came back home without a shower or sleep and passed out back in Yangsan. I waited for my mom and sister to get back home to Masan. The rest of my family, mom, and sister came back to Yangsan! After a light lunch a coffee, my cousins, cousin’s fiancé, sister and I went to Busan for a little shopping adventure! We bought me a tie, and my sister a dress!
After a little bit of shopping, we headed to the beach where we enjoyed a lovely meal of cooked eel and seashells. We capped the night at home, and we just fell asleep!
Sunday was pretty uneventful. My mom and sister were planning their leave the next day, so I helped them pack and get ready. We enjoyed a great meal at our favorite restaurant, and took a trip around a pretty big temple here in Yangsan! Once we came home, we finalized the luggage and ended the night with chicken and beer! The next morning, I sent my mom and sister home back to Atlanta, and I was on my way back to Seoul. It was sad, but I know in 9 short months, I will be back home!
Sorry the blog is getting later and later….
I’m surprised I remember all this shit!!
