It's a word that I learned from Nav, some of the Korean students I teach and by the E-Mart people!
My weekend started early because on Friday Nav wanted to attend a music performance at Metal City which is located at Seomyeon. I tagged along but it was once again raining. Rain here in Busan can somehow avoid the umbrella because we still got drenched even though we had the umbrella covering ourselves the whole time; our face, hands, and arms still got wet for no reason. We ate at restaurant that had a Simpsons image inside the place. Plus it had a chicken choice for me (I am allergic to beef and pork). After we ate, we wanted to get to Metal City but we got lost for a good one hour and half because Seomyeon junction is a huge maze. Especially when there are so many people, lights, cars, walking at night and raining the whole time. Finally we made it to the event but we left the place to check out the nearby places. That’s when we noticed a shooting range and a foosball machine where we had couple of friendly games. We came back to Metal City to play darts and meet up with Laura. We just hung around at Metal City for another few hours and headed home like around 4:30am.
Nav won 750 to 690 because I didn't hit the 60pts target
Nav was just good at shooting people... I mean targets down (2-0 for him).
I got my revenge in foosball where I won 10-9 and 10-9! Close battles! (2-0)
Nav and I had an intense darts contest where he won the first game, and I came back in the second game with 4 bulls-eyes. However, Nav prevailed to win the last game barely. (2-1 for him)
Nav slept over at my place and was envy of how I was living compared to him. I had an extra room, a bath tub, an iron, extra wardrobe closet, and a balcony! On Saturday we really wanted to go back to Seomyeon to explore properly in the daylight but the weather did not permit it. It was once again raining a lot. Instead, we headed to Shinsegae to watch a 4D movie. However, the 4D movie (Transformers 3) is sold out until next Saturday! So we booked tickets for next Saturday at 9:35pm. Then we walked around Shinsegae to find a place to eat. When we finally did, we discovered the way people of Busan order their food. It is quite effective and well organized. Technology is implemented in all aspect of life and ordering food is no different (look at picture for proof). After our meals, we decided to do a bit of shopping. We took note of what to buy the last time we came so we bought few nice shirts for real cheap (compared to Canadian prices). I only took some pictures of shirts and blazer that I wanted to get but didn’t have the money, the proper size or it was way too pricey.
A random picture of me from the subway ride, and some performers were dancing to Beyonce's song "Run the World!"
This particular pen costs 2,500,000 wons ($2,500 CDN)! Crazy!
Finally, Nav and I headed back home around 8:15pm because it was still raining and we didn’t bring extra money with us. Plus we were tired from the day before and we had few school related things to do at night and tomorrow. Sunday is basically going to be making our lesson plans and organizing everything for the whole week. Next weekend, we are planning to go to Haeundae beach (if the weather is good), watch that 4D movie we have been hoping to watch for awhile, check out Nampo-Dong area which is supposed to be great for foreigners who want to shop for cheap, and finally, if time permits, the Busan fish market, which is the largest in the world. So stay tuned for more posts in the near future.
