Unfortunately, we decided we should check on the Kyungsung area, see what was going on. So we headed out to our favorite pajeon and makulli bar where an extremely drunk ole Korean fella started offering us drinks and eventually came and sat with us. Poor fool ruined the night. He didn't speak any English, but was convinced that he did, but because he couldn't understand us he assumed that we were Russian and weren't speaking English at all. He kept asking "Can you English?" and when we said yes he'd say most emphatically "Me too!", but this was an incorrect statement. He kept getting angry at us for not speaking English or Korean and while I generally agree that one should at least try one's best at the native language if one chooses to live abroad, he did come sit with an obvious group of foreigners. In another context a situation like this would tug my guilt cord for not being more studious and fluent in Korean, but in this case I was angry right back at him. It would be another story if we'd crashed his party, but come on old man! Don't ruin our night with your Debbie Downer attitude! We hung around far too long, but called it a night early to escape his wandering bad vibe tentacles. We split with David and Duck and headed home.

You sir most certainly cannot English.
Saturday was fun day though. We woke up lazily and relaxed before venturing out to see the UN Peace Park Cemetery. This is right beside our apartment, but it closes at 5 PM so we hadn't been inside yet.
It's beautiful, but pretty tragic. Not exactly full of warm memories and happy thoughts.
After the cemetery we went to Haeundae. There we met David, Duck, Shannon, and Ryan. On our way to the wharf we stopped by the Haeundae market to see what strange things we could see. This time around they were selling bees complete with combs. However, these were not honey bees. They looked like yellow jackets, and I don't know why anyone would want to buy them. Then we had to make a lightning quick convenient store stop for grown up drinks in order to catch the next boat out. We took a 2 hour tourist ferry around the Oryukdo Islets, one of the more common images associated with Busan. We were the only foreigners on board, and therefore, the only people not feeding our snacks to the seagulls. All the Koreans were loving the seagully attention. People were holding snacks out for the birds to take out of their hands and screaming with delight or terror, I couldn't tell which. In this manner we acquired an entourage of flying friends that blocked most pictures of the shoreline. It was a windy, icy, feather filled good time, and the islets were beautiful.
Before we met our new friends
Saxophone dragged me off to meet his friends

Ryan, Shannon, Professor, Physical Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Saxophone, Me, and Tea Man with a sliver of Yoga Master on the side
That Yoga Master was aggresive.

Saxophone loved the boys. Well, he loved everyone.

David, Yoga Master, Careef, and Saxophone.
This is right before he kissed Ryan's lips

This is as he's kissing David's lips.
Friend swap again

Makulli faces
That's the waiter in the background. He hates us I think.
Incidentally, I cut my own bangs this morning before school, and it turned out better than expected.
