An undiscovered Country

I finally made it out to DaDaePo Beach! I think that this place is really wonderful. Its a lot different than typical Busan.


Dadaepo is the largest area in Busan. Its located near Hadan/Sinpyeong Jangnim. This is the factory side of the city and unfortunately not well liked by tourists or most people in Busan. However, for housing the largest commune in Busan its more like country side estates overlooking a harbor.


I went there with my friend Mr. Kim. He is the restaurant owner that I have become acquainted with and is someone I consider one of my best friends. I stayed in his apartment which is on the 14th floor. He has 6 bedrooms. One for his Chinese worker (she's illegal, but thats not important to me) She also can't speak English but her Korean is superb. He also has a bedroom for his father and 3 spare rooms. We ended up drinking a lot of beer at a pub and then eating chicken and drinking more beer as well. I was disappointed that we left half  the pitcher but he was treating me since I was his guest.


We went to bed at 2am and got up at 8 for a nice breakfast that he cooked. His house is so luxurious. He has oak tables and antique chairs, fine china, state of the art equipment especially in the kitchen. Would you expect anything else from a restaurant owner? I don't.

I had a nice time and hope to go back there ASAP. My wife went to Gumi so this was my vacation period.

In the morning, I also had to go to the library with him to teach his volunteer class. It was nice and good to see something different in Busan rather than the typical daily monotonous situation. I went to Nampo-dong and had a sad meeting with Dell since my papers weren't available I had left them in my home a good 40 minute trip back out East. I went home and prepped as much as I could and think its about done. I have one more day to finalize it but I am hoping that I can just DO IT.

My teaching career is on the line.
