X- Games & Jinju Lantern Festival



The next weekend were stuck around Busan and hit up the TreX Games and watched some skateboarding and BMX events. It was pretty neat. Saw some cultural stuff too…We also hit up a pub-crawl in a university area which was insane! It really didn’t seem like we were in Korea because these bars were invaded by all us foreign people. However, I still managed to be asked if I was Korean or not. I get this all the time! Then they go down all the Asian cultures and I have to break it to them that I’m Inuit. Then I have to break that down to Eskimo. A rare bred I guess! The night ended for most of us again around 5am and all of us taking separate cabs home…no intentionally.

The next day started late for me…3pm where I found myself at a Korean pop concert, Alex. Kayly’s coworker hooked her up with three tickets and took Angela and I. Alex is apparently from Canada or lives there and is HUGE here in Korea. The show was hilarious. He was quite entertaining but I managed to fall asleep a couple of times. OOPS. We witnessed an engagement, cell phone wars of some sort, crying girls along with crying Alex (while singing), and paper airplanes being thrown. I guess its something to cross off in the books!

Two weekends ago I went out to Jinju to see the Lantern Festival. It was amazing! The crowds were insane and Ashley and I got separated from Kayly and Stephanie. We walked around all afternoon after the bus ride up and had some beers before the sun went down. The lanterns lit up and the fireworks went off so now it was time to take some shitty pictures! (My camera is sick). We took in the show and then tried to find Steph and Kayly to book it back to the bus station to head back to Busan. The whole lit-up floating lantern idea is awesome. Maybe I’ll bring it back for the YK river? Hmm…Don’t think it would fly.
