오랜만이야 (it's been a while)

It's been over a month since I've been in Korea. Sorry I haven't updated my blog. I've been busy living life. Let me take you back to Saturday, September 8, 2012.

A bunch of us went to the Lotte Giants baseball game in Busan. We took a bus from Jinju to Busan. It took about 2 hours to get there. Here's the view from the bus ride. You can tell that I live in the boonies. HAHA

 We got to the stadium to meet Tony's friend from Texas who was working in Korea for a little bit. Picked up our tickets and went to Yoogane to eat spicy fried rice. Then we picked up some chicken, ice cream, beer, a blow up finger and noise sticks. What's so cool about Korea is that you can bring in food and drinks as long as it's not in a glass container unlike America where you pay choke money to buy food in the stadium. We also had awesome seats. We sat on the sidelines of the baseball field so we were close to the players. There weren't that many hot players, but I believe #8 or #6 is hot? Not sure.It was really fun. We acted like Americans...we got drunk, loud and obnoxious sounding when we cheered (well just Tony) Our Korean friends asked why Tony got up during the baseball game. I guess they don't stand and cheer in Korea. In order for the Koreans around us to like us and not think of us as rude and obnoxious, Tony and his friend packs of beer and passed it out to people that were around us. I guess that's a cool way for people to like you. Here are some pictures to prove it.

 Great seats

 Towards the end of the game. They pass out plastic bags and we blow it up and wear them on our heads to cheer the team on.

 The males make their bags like bows

 Americans....

 A cute middle age couple. This ajusshi danced to Gangnam style, caught a foul ball but dropped it. Ask the worker for it back, ended up not catching it again so the worker just took it back the second time. FAIL.

 Ruby, me, Emma Eonni

 See how much Ruby's having. No joke!

Mom and son couple who were stoked that they sat next to Americans

 

In the end, Lotte Giants won 2-0. I don't remember who they were playing. After the game, Ruby and her 2 dongsengs (cousins) went to go eat around Busan at a placed called Shin. Sorry, no pictures. I was too tired to take them. But, it was delicious. It was soup with noodles. After the noodles we added rice to the broth we had left and made fried rice. Then we walked around the shopping area that is like Myeongdong in Seoul and got ice cream at Baskin Robins. I had Yuzu yogurt flavor. Yum! We ended the night and dropped off her cousins at the Sasang Bus Terminal and Ruby and I checked into a LOVE Motel called MU that was right by the Terminal. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of our room. It was nice but smelled like cigarettes. They supplied everything even condoms and had exotic channels that i accidentally flipped through. haha. There was a jet tub which I used to take a bubble bath. Overall it was good times in the motel. The next day we took the bus back to Jinju. We didnt really do anything in Busan the next day because it was pouring outside.
