So right now I am enjoying a 5-day weekend thanks to a wonderful Korean holiday called Chusok. It is basically the Korean thanksgiving, and it is a huge family holiday where everyone exchanges gifts and gets together with extended family. For the holiday, 7 of us took a little vacation to Busan, which is on the Southeastern coast of Korea, by the East Sea (aka the Sea of Japan, but NO ONE calls it that here :-P) Because of the holiday, it wasn't busy at all, which was really nice. It was a really good trip consisting of spending time on the beach, seeing beautiful nature, shopping, resting a little, eating a lot (including really good Indian food, which I had never tried before), a night ferry ride, visiting the aquarium and the fish market, and riding bumper cars. My favorite part was a place called Taejondae (see 2nd video below) where we rode a little tram that made stops all over this mountainous island just outside the city. It was absolutely beautiful with cliffs right on the water. I also really enjoyed the fish market. It was so interesting; I wish all of you could have been there to see it. I tried to capture the moment on video (see below), but it was a crazy experience. Overall, it was a great trip and a great break from school. And the best part is I still have tomorrow off!
Here are the videos I took on the trip.
