When I got to Busan Sunday, I needed a helmet for riding on Rob's motorbike, so we swung into E-Mart and found this adorable little number. It really brings out my eyes and retarded side, I think.Busan is a beautiful city, and according to Rob, you can drink beer right out in public! I have that American stupidity ingrained, I guess, that says you need to put your beer in a paper bag if you drink outside. What's up with that, anyway? Why do Americans have to pretend to conceal something that is so obvious as to make the whole affair ridiculous? Then again, what about America isn't ridiculous half the time? ㅋㅋㅋ
Being somewhat naive about almost everything Busan, I asked Rob to drop me off at Busan Station, the big central train station downtown, so I could catch a train home. Of course, you can't go to Gyeongju from Busan from the big central train station without going to Daegu first, then backtracking to Gyeongju, making the trip about 5 hours to go 40 miles. Needless to say, I took a bus home. Should have taken my motorbike, but everyone said the weather was supposed to turn foul, which it did not, thank you kindly all you naysaying dumbasses!In other news, I ordered a MacBook Pro from the Apple store in Busan, and it was delivered to my home by the creepiest delivery man I have ever encountered. I'm used to Koreans being surprised when a "foreigner" opens the door to them, and I've encountered a few people so taken aback as to become temporarily speechless (in any language). However, this guy showed the usual surprise (even though my foreign name was emblazoned on the box and my door!), but then he got this twisted little grin, and his eyes roved around on me and the apartment behind me in the oddest way. I discreetly looked down to make sure all my body parts were inside my clothing and dismissed the guy politely, but quickly. Just a little weirded out. So, drum rolls please! Here is my new MacBook Pro:
