and i'll make my job a big vacation.

i've been a little bit sick this week, unfortunately. it seems that we are passing a cold around at the school. not such a good idea in my opinion.

yesterday, we went to busan for the night. one of the best ideas, EVER. an international film festival is held in busan annually. it is the biggest film festival in asia. so, i think you can understand what this implies. anyways, on the last night of the festival they have a huge fireworks display. when i say huge, i actually mean, HUGE. i have never seen anything like this in my entire life. first of all, the crowd was completely out of hand. i can't even guesstimate how many people were there.

this is just one area of people. the entire beach was covered with people. covered.

ok, so we were all waiting around for the fireworks to start, thinking about how this better be awesome or we're going to be pissed. lol. while we're waiting, the boys buy some rice cake things which we share with the children around us. of course, they were all adorable.
cute girl.



this is an example of how much sharing goes on in korea. these guys were just sitting in front of us and somehow soju starts to flow for the 'boys' club'.

SO, the fireworks begin.
the entire sky was filled with fireworks. FILLED. when they lit white fireworks, it was so bright i could have been wearing sunglasses. obviously, the pictures aren't good enough to demonstrate this. after a while, we just decided to roam the town. these are my friends.

i love korea. i don't think i'm ever coming home.

lace the korean face.
