Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Lawsuit!
My weekend in a nutshell (no nut to taste, just the shell to give you an idea).
Friday night - ate pizza and drank beer with Kevin.
Saturday - relaxed all morning and went to Haeundae Aquarium in the evening with Kevin. My camera died while we were in there so I didn't get to take any pictures - I will another time. Kevin felt quite sick while we were there so he took off soon after (he said it was a fever, but I think he just wanted an excuse to go to McDonalds -which we did). He went home and I had naked fun spa time by myself. Except it wasn't much fun. But I was naked. It was a spa I hadn't been to yet, and I won't go back - it was kinda gross. Watched the movie Wallace and Gromit - check it out, very funny. Watched it naked (made it funnier).
Sunday - After exercising went off to Koreas largest fish market Jagalchi and walked around all day. Instead of putting all the pictures I took on the blog I quickly made this little video. The guys lying on the ground are homeless people who apparently can't use their legs (their like little mermaids!), hence why they are dragging themselves across the fish-gutted ground on little wheels (you'll see them in the video). The pictures aren't very good quality because I don't think the people were too crazy about me taking tourist shots of them. Most of the time I was pretending to adjust the camera and would run off after stealing the shot.
The other pictures are from the International Market which is in the same area as the fish market. This is the spot where you can get everything from Indian Saris to knock-off designer purses to American products extremely hard to find in Korea. By the time I got there they were closing down for the day, so I'll go back again another time.
CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE THEM!
Not crowded - this isn't even the packed maze-like area of the International market.
As I've mentioned, the whole area is like a maze - each person running their own little shop. Certain 'areas' only sell certain items. There may be 4 - 5 stores right next to one another all selling the exact same crap - uh I mean, stuff.
Shoes (this was one of many - picture doesn't do it justice)
Hats
Tools
In an area where you can BARELY move - again, if this picture had been taken a few hours earlier you wouldn't have seen the ground because of all the people - there is always those few (you'll nearly get hit by about 2 dozen in any given hour) that squeeze their motorbikes through a walkway maybe 5 feet across.
A main road - The Pusan International Film Festival is nearby.
Lots of stores look like this guys - they pack their products from floor to 'ceiling', leaving no room to maneuver. No room. Lots of the time there are bottles of booze leaning dangerously from the top of some pile of candy. The pictures say it all.
Its like Jenga!
Turn around you shy bastard!
Booze!
Peppers anyone?
Kimchi!
I - I - love you.

What the F#@& were those women chopping up?!? I'm pretty sure I've seen those animals before -- oh that's right, Jabba the Hut was eating one in Return of the Jedi! Seriously, some of the food there is creepy!
So, what am I the only person who can be bothered to comment these days? Well then, I'll just have to up the frequency of my comments!
