Only 47 weeks left

This week went by pretty fast. Thursday we had to take the bus to Busan at 6:30 in morn to go to the immigration office to handle some business. It's a two hour journey both ways so we had to leave early to be back in time for work at 3. It was in and out at customs so we walked through a huge open-air market and bought some souvenirs before taking the subway across town back to the bus station inside of a mall. We knew where we wanted to eat because as we had walked out of the station after arrival our first sight was KFC. Busan is a huge city but we felt fairly comfortable there because it reminded us of being in big European cities. We made it back in time and worked until 9:30.

Saturday we had the choice of going to Jinju with Brandon's school to ice skate or riding with one of his coworkers back to Busan for the day; she had to go to the hospital for some testing. We thought it was a good idea to go to Busan because we would have some free time while she was in the hospital and maybe a tour guide when she got out. Her appointment was at 11 but we had to leave town at 7 to make sure we beat the traffic jams. We got to Busan at 9 and we went to Jagalchi fish market to check out the atmosphere. We hunted down a good book store to get some English literature which there is none of in Tongyeong. We found some books and then proceeded to stumble upon Busan Tower and the park around it. We took the elevator to the top and had drinks in the cafe while checking out the scenery. And by "drinks in the cafe" I mean a juice glass of coke at one of the 20 tables crammed around the first deck. Close to the tower was the market we had been to on Thursday so we ventured back and scored some deals on clothes. Around 1:30 we called my colleague and she informed us that she had to stay for more tests and wouldn't be leaving until 7 or 8. We just hung out until meeting her at about 7.30pm. On the ride home, it began to rain, which is the first rain we've seen for a week. Umi wanted to take a shortcut, but it ended up taking 45 minutes longer, so we didn't get home until 11pm.
Sunday we awoke to the apartment to ourselves; our roommate just moved out. He was a smoker, and did so in his bedroom (which is the master bedroom), so we literally spent hours cleaning the room top to bottom. We then re-arranged the whole apartment. It was a lot of work, but we are quite happy with the new arrangement.
We're hoping that the rain will keep the area cooler now. The locals say that the temps should be dropping soon. That is something we are quite looking forward to :)
