Active U.N.

On Saturday I met up with my friend who lives in Yangsan, which is basically the town that is the closest to Busan. I met up with Lara and had lunch together at a Pakistani restaurant. This was my first time trying Pakistani food in Korea. When I was in Teacher’s College last year I didn’t get a chance to visit any Pakistani restaurants and whenever I came to Toronto for a visit, I usually just had home cooked Tamil meals. Anyways, Lara and I played badminton for a bit, which was also my first in Korea, and hung out at the Lifelong Learning Festival. We didn’t know about the festival until we got to the badminton courts, and saw lots of tents set up and kids running around. The slogan for Yangsan is “Active Yangsan” and they had so many green spaces, bike paths, badminton courts, and wider sidewalks for people to actually use it. It seems like more and more people from Busan might move up there in the next few years. After hanging out in Yangsan until 6pm, I headed back to Gwangalli beach in Busan to relax with Yana, Warren, Jay, and Victoria. Around 10:30pm we all departed because Yana, Victoria and I had to go watch Avengers in 4D! Basically, this is my third time watching the movie. First in 3D on April 25th, then in 2D few days later and on Saturday I watched it in 4D! Well worth the price of admission.

On Sunday, I finally headed to the U.N. Cemetery with Andrew, Erin and Steven. The Cemetery is located in Busan but I never had a chance to go until this Sunday! The place was very nice. The grass was cut so neatly, very peaceful and quiet (minus the security scooter dude who was super noisy). I took a lot of pictures so I decided to put them as collages for you to check them out and easier on me because I don’t have to upload gazillion pictures to this blog post. I have less than 2 months left in Korea and I am starting to miss home more and more now. I am not looking forward to being unemployed but I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in Toronto. The time has certainly gone by fast but on some days it seems like it’s not moving at all. Being 25 years old has already taught me that time is essential for everything we do and plan so I want to spend the remaining time in Korea productive as possible. I want to check out more places, hang out with friends that I have made in Busan ,and cherish all the memories.
