Spring Break 2010: Busan, Burger King, and 뜽

Buddha’s Birthday is also a national holiday in Korea, so we got a 3 day weekend! For our 3 day weekend we did what every other foreigner in Korea apparently decided to do too, take the bullet train south to Busan, the coastal port city in the southeast corner of the country.

We left Thursday night after work and took the bullet train down in time to go out on Thursday night. The 4 of us girls had a really random night out. The next morning we met up with some of our other friends for a day on the beach. I have literally never seen anything like it since I’ve been in Korea. The beach was PACKED with expats. Literally, it looked like Miami or something. Koreans gathered on the edge of the beach and just stared in amazement. We took over. We spent the day frolicking in the ocean, enjoying some beers, and loving the warm weather. We checked into our amazing hotel that we shoved 5 people into, which was so worth it. We went out to the “hottest nightclub in Busan” that night which happened to be in the basement of our hotel. Awesome commute.On Saturday it decided it was going to be a shit day and rain. Luckily for us we had shelled out the cash to stay in the nicest hotel on the beach so it was a funny/relaxing day just lounging in the hotel room with good friends. That night we hit up a local bar which was packed full of expats. I felt like I was in America.We headed back to Seoul the next morning on the KTX after a nice long weekend vacation.
