Escape to the Beach

I'm almost all caught up!

Last Saturday we bought bus tickets and rode all the way out to Busan and Haeundae beach for a weekend of sand and sun. It was a nice day, but most of us definitely got more sand than sun. After chilling on the beach for a while, four of us decided to walk around the beach to the other side of the mini peninsula. We found a lot of awesome views (and the boys managed to climb down to some rocks close to the water), eventually crossing a suspension bridge to get to the building where the APEC conference was held several years ago. I don't remember when it was, but Bush was still president according to all the photos. It's pretty surreal seeing him wear a hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) over his suit and tie.

After walking back to the others we all went out to a cheap dinner before riding the bus back to Gimhae. While the weather wasn't amazing, I'm glad that it wasn't typical summer - Haeundae beach is very popular with tourists and locals and on a nice day they come like a swarm to the beach.
