This Sunday, I toured Busan with Ivan, Laziz (from Uzbekistan), and other international students from China and Vietnam. Our day started on a pirate-style ship that took us from the port to Gwangali beach. From there we took the bus to a pottery place where we had bibimbap for lunch. There were hundreds of clay statues depicticing people with open heads, open mouths, and no ears which represents the local way of thinking that by freeing our minds of unnecessary thought and not letting in harmful noise, we can relax by singing together. In the afternoon, we dressed in traditional Korean clothing and learned to bow at an etiquette school. We finished the day with a visit to a beautiful seaside temple where my camera battery died :( We plan to go back there someday to catch the sunrise though.
