Busan: Weekend Tripping Time

I decided to meet up with some of my fellow EAPSI peeps in Busan since I'd spent every weekend in Ulsan since arriving. Also, I thought the infection in my gums where my wisdom teeth were came back and I wanted to go visit an English speaking dentist I'd been referred to... O_o is what I was feeling like but since I was going to hang out why not kill two birds with one stone?

In the KTX station while I waited for my train to busan I figured I'd walk around since I had an hour to kill and as always, Korea never disappoints. This was the sign on the way to the women's restroom... yeah, there's no need for the T it just gets in the way, lol. 


Oh and does a "glutinous" rice donut sounds really delicious... O_o.... Ummm... I #DIED when I saw this cause yes, one would expect a donut to be sticky but glutinous?? That doesn't make the thing sound delicious at all, lol. BUT we're in Korea so you have to have a "Did they use the correct english word?" moment. Did they mean gluttonous?? I don't think so?? Even still, the context would be off but whateve, still funny nonetheless. 


20 minute high speed train ride and I was in Busan!! Let the fun begin!!


After two trains, walking in the rain and getting semi-lost I found the "love" motel we were staying in located in downtown Busan... Yeah, I said love motel, but don't ask, lol. We were starving and decided to go to dinner at a seafood place since Busan is known for their seafood. Check out our spread!!


Soju, Beer and half the menu of various sea creatures prepared in so many ways it had me think of Forest Gump and Bubba... "boiled shrimp, baked shrimp, grilled shrimp, shrimp scampi... " Except... this was NOT shrimp, lol


See... snails...


And prawns and  octopus... Oh my!!


Our "bout it" waitress feeding Wang something... don't know what exactly... And you'll see why I call her bout it...


Some of the crew enjoying dinner



Smiles!! We're in Busan!! 

The snail Wally put in my bowl... I was forced to attempt eating... Peer Pressure at its finest


Me trying to get the little sucker out of the shell...


Still can't get him... SHOOT!! Slippery...


So I said screw it and took my toothpick to yank him out...


Me about to lose my nerve when I see what it looks like...


Down the hatch!! OMG!! You can tell from my face it wasn't my favorite thing to eat but it actually wasn't that bad... the texture was the worst part...


YAY!! I did it!! I ate a snail!! lol... 


Supposedly that's abalone...  I don't like the way they look when they're alive so I didn't wanna try it cooked... btw EVERYTHING is fresh our of the fish tanks in front of the restaurant... I probably saw my food swimming on my way in, lol... RIP dinner...

A split open fish... Really good if you can avoid all the bones :)


Some seafood mix with scallops and other stuff... Really good :)


See!! Told y'all our waitress is bout it!! She's throwin' back shots of Soju with us while serving... Who needs happy hour after work in Korea?? Get chocolate wasted while you work!!


A fish stew of some sort... spicy and really good!!


YAY!! Say Cheese Guys!!


Me and my Kansas City Connection- Katrina!!


Walter being retarded as usual...


Wang and Wally showing me their "Gangsta Face" Looks like Wang knows how to "Thizz"


Me all smiles... 


Wang is the homie!! Too funny!!


That must be Liz's soju face!! LOL


Here's Katrina's Rock Star Soju Face!!


No idea what we were talkin about that his point... Doesn't matter tho... Awesome pic lol


Wally taking over my camera


Okay, I'll pose for a sec...


Our waitress took on a fondness for Liz...


The other one decided she wanted to feed Wally... WTH that is tho... I have NO idea... O_o


Finishing up dinner... Eating like Kings and Queens!!


My Soju face...


Wang and Wally with the "Aniyo" pose... That's what Koreas do when they wanna tell you no, or they don't know, or don't ask me... We're taking it universal... Soon it'll be like giving the thumbs up or peace sign... Check out Wang's face tho... freakin' priceless!!


Mmmmm mmmm good... nothing like a fish head on your plate!! 


He was obviously very happy and also very drunk, lol. Gotta love 'em tho...


I actually look like a had a few too many but trust me... I'm good, lol...


the after dinner damage...


The waitress decided her love for Liz could be shared with me too, so she grabbed me to take a pic... Then proceeded to smack me on the butt repeatedly screaming "hips, hips"... lol, yeah crazy korean lady... I get it... I'm toting alot back here. No need to molest me tho, LOL. jk... She was nice, just caught me off guard, lol. Oh, and check out the one pointing to her black eye... What's that about?? Ehhh well... *KanyeShrug*


Back at the "love" motel Wang discovered the "lube" and cleansers left for the patrons enjoyment. O_o
His face once again, says it all... 


Not a New Orleans Daq but it'll suffice...


This bar was JAMMIN' playing all kinda of music from the states... I can have a party anywhere!!


Katrina on the pool table


Aurora is next...


What's with the ganja leaves at the "American" type bars?? Not everyone rolls up, lol


Look at Aurora!! Getting fancy on the pool table


Visited the dentist the next morning while everyone else slept off their soju... No infection!! YAY!!


Even got some service... Not sure what the hell the pills were they gave me... I decided not to take them since I couldn't understand what they were.... tryna kill me lol


Lunch at this italian restaurant... Even got some service here... Busan is being good to ya girl... I like this...


Elevator back at the motel... Can you guess what's wrong with this picture??
I'll wait... lol

Sa... no 4th floor, lol
The group ventured out into the rain to busan tower but they wouldn't let us up cause the weather was so bad...


My mood, cold summer weather and rain ended up spoiling the rest of my busan weekend... After much drama, which was absolutely hilarious, I finally made it back to the mountains of Ulsan a day earlier... No worries tho... I had a great time nonetheless... Until next weekend!!
