The odd thing about having lots of free time, is that you really just go where the wind blows, towards whatever happens to pique your interest that particular day.
I had randomly made a friend in a supermarket, ended up meeting up with him and his friends in Jeju city, about 25kms away and spent the day with them, and ended up crashing at one of the girls' houses with her. Next day, I went along to play volleyball on the beach as my last day on the island off the south coast of mainland S.Korea. Next thing I know, I'm joining up to play in the volleyball competition the following week, and deciding to stay at my friend's house until then. So I've been playing tennis, basketball, going for bike rides, and watching the 'Korean Population Control Ride'. I took video of this yesterday, that I'll put up soon. It's my new favourite ride.
Today's plan is to go to Mt. Hallasan, and wander around there for as long as I feel like it, before heading back to play volleyball tonight. I honestly can't wait for the weekend - and who can blame me. It starts at 7:30am on Saturday, ends with a beach dance party and group camp-out on the beach before commencing again on Sunday. Holy crap. I love it here.
The sun is still out and shining in October (I've even been swimming in the ocean, although that takes a little more of the steeled nerves to work myself up to that), and the weather is predicted to be about 71F/20c for this weekend, then the plan for now is to peace out via boat on the high seas on the following Monday and head back to Daegu. The Pusan International Film Fest (known as PIFF) is also on in Busan though, so I'm kind of interested in making my way that way as well, however ...
