A car company sponsored beach

So today took a dramatic turn. I was all dressed to the nines in me bestest outfit to meet with the principal at the school. And then I get a phone call from my co-teacher as Im about 5 minutes from the school. She wants the weekend off so we will just meet on Monday. Hooray. A reprieve. I now know how death row inmates feel when the governer calls. Well maybe not that severe, but still.

So we decide to make the most of my freedom. And rush back to the hotel and get changed into civvies. We make a beeline for Haeundae (pronounced Hyundai, like the car company!) beach as we want to see what all the fuss is about. Our first escapade on the subway as well. Very efficient. About the only bloody thing that is in this country. After an easy transition to the correct line for the beach we finally make it. It's quite far. After some snooping around (I even spy a bike shop) we grab some lunch in...TGI Fridays! A burger for me then. Then the afternoon goes a bit south. I then endure an hour or so of idle chit chat. Bore. But then we head to the aquarium and see some...fish. Well what else would there be in an aquarium. There are even sharks. Killer. The best bit was the death ride I endured at the end. There was this 3D ride where you grab a pew on this piece of plasterboard with seats, and then get hurled around by hydraulics. All the while fearing for your life and hoping you dont end up being plastered to the wall by the end. No such thing as public safety.

After I escape with my life, we go grab some dinner and then back to the hotel. What an exciting day. Ha. Tomorrow is another day off though.
