Busan

Well, I never got around to writing about Seoul, though I do still have the scraps of paper with my activity lists. So maybe next weekend I'll do that as well as attempt to recount this trip. Next week, I'm off Mon-Thurs, so I headed to a beachy city in the south called Busan . Once again, I was lazy with my planning, so I couldn't go to the subtropical island or to China. But there should be lots to do here, including beach bumming and naked hot spring activities, whatever they may be. Hopefully shuffleboard is among them. Incidentally, as I'm sure you're all dying to know, I've become a lot more comfortable being naked ever since the first incident with millions of korean kiddies in the sauna and then since numerous showers with korean fellows after squash. That doesn't bode well for any of you who might ever live with me again, I suppose.

Anyhow, the hostel is really nice. It's actually just a normal apartment building. I'm on the 13th floor right now in a 3 bedroom apartment. The website claimed that I'd be in a nearly full 6-bed dorm, but my room is actually only 4 beds and I'm the second occupant. The other guy isn't here but he left his notebook open on the bed, so I saw that he was studying korean. I think I could kick his butt though. For that reason alone, I predict this'll be a sweet trip.
