The Globe-Trotting Travels of a Lovely Little Drunk: Department Stores, Lighthouses, and Gay Prostitutes

Wow. So.. from the title I bet you guys can SURMISE that today was a pretty.. interesting..day to say the least. It started off pretty innocuously... I met with my parents in the lobby and ventured off into the park across the street from the hotel.

Where I decided to paint calligraphy for 1300000000 hours

It had this beautiful garden and lake, complete with trickling waterfalls and huge goldfish.

I ate all the goldfish. They were absolutely delicious.

And it had a little bridge!!

I've had bigger.

AND A LITTLE STREAM!!!!!

...I've had streamier

AND A FREAKING CUTE BAMBOO FOREST THAT I WANTED TO DEVOUR!!:SLDFKHSD:FLK!!!!!

Is it really a bamboo forest though, if people aren't flying through the air, sword fighting each other?

Once we got across we discovered the Hyundai Department Store..

I've had departmentier

And ventured inside...

Brucey! How many time have I told you not to ride the escalator up and down repeatedly!?!!?

And we had some lunch!

mmm pork tonkatsu with curry rice oooooomnomnom

And on the way I was able to sneak in a shot of Greg's office building in the shipyard!! heh heh

They can't see me if I can't see them, right?

Afterwards we were off to one of the most beautiful areas of the city,

A little ring-esque, no?

Called Ulgi Lighthouse (I think)

Oh. definitely from The Ring.. or.. the Korean version of it

Where you could walk along and get some great views of the coast

I don't think there are enough cargo ships on the left, do you?

as well as some newly built MEGAships getting water tested

Testing the water pumps.. I'm assuming..

Then we walked along some cliff rocks where some emperor died at some point to protect Korea with a flying dragon or something(source?)

It's hard to keep these legends straight without confusing them and assuming it's ALIENS BAUGH

Saw a friend!

Mr. Korean Man, please get off Pride Rock?

Walked across a treacherous bridge!

It looks so unstable! Despite its clearly reliable engineering, design, and construction

Spotted some friendly local fisherman!

Excuse me sir, you're not allowed down there...

AND A KITTEH

so ferocious!

AND ANOTHER KITTEH.

I seeeeeeee youuuuuuu

they grow wild here, apparently

IMA JUMP ON YOU AND PUT MY PAW ON YO FACE N RUN AWAY!

Once we got to the far ends of the cliffs we looked back...

with our heads held high.. is that from something or did I just make that up?

AND SAW ANOTHER KITTEH

Even as he was chewing on my face he was SO adorable!

AND SOME MORE ROCKS AND COASTLINE

THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH ROCKS AND COASTLINE

AND A JELLYFISH!! EEEEE!!!

which was about the size of a truck's tire...

And as I looked over the edge..

I hope I don't sneeze..

I saw the shipyard where Greg works!!

So much for trying to keep me from taking pictures! YOU CAN'T STOP ME I'M A BLOGGING ANIMAL

Then I might've taken one nice picture with the Mom-creature

BUT I DIDN'T LIKE IT

AND SPOTTED ANOTHER KITTEH

HAI I'M A KITTY N I'M A EAT YOUR FACE NOW THANKS BYE

And noticed a storm was brewing...

Something wicked this way comes..

AND THEN SPOTTED THREE MORE KITTEHS!! ERMAHGERD

They were fighting for dominance over the Styrofoam. IT WAS SO CUTE.

And saw the storm coming in rapidly!!

Or did I just have gas.. hmm.. can't tell too drunk.

Okay, so here's where it get's a little dicey. So we were on this peninsula, and to get back to the car, we could go back the way we came, which was a nice leisurely walk, or we could go around the OTHER side of the peninsula, a trail we haven't seen. My Mom decided to go back the way we came, and my Dad and I decided to venture off into the unknown. AS WE MANLY MEN TEND TO DO. So off into the pine forest we went!

When faced with a fork in the road, always take the one that's not actually a road....

Little did we know that this trail was actually very difficult. The ground was wet, and extremely hilly and rocky. I set off ahead to make sure that the path was something my Dad can do. During our journey today, I saw several people who were very friendly, and openly said "hello!" to me. While on this particular trail, I came across a group of young men walking in the other direction. One made eye contact with me, and I said, "hello!". He responded with "hi!". He stopped me and asked, "Are you wlorking?"... in that moment, I assumed he asked, "are you working", but in retrospect, I think he asked "are you Looking". Either way I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was either propositioning me or asking me to proposition HIM. I felt very dirty and I hadn't even had a drink yet! After he asked the question, he opened his jacket and started rubbing his chest. In my exhausted and slightly dehydrated state, I thought that was a little odd. I responded with, "no, .... I'm just visiting..... ... ..!" (if any of you had any doubt of my brilliance here is proof that you were right). He gave me a very confused look, glanced at his friends, saw my Dad approaching with great tenacity, and quickly responded with, "OH, OKAY BYE." I dunno if he wanted money, or what, but Bruce... maaahhaahhaaannn... do you have great timing!!

So we decided to take a shortcut through this outdoor gym area.. ?
