Birthdays in Busan

A couple of weeks ago the Yeongju girls headed down to Busan to celebrare Mel and I's birthday.
It was a pretty great girls birthday full of 1000 won vodka shots, Mexican food and wasting money at H & M.

Here are a couple of pics from our girls weekend away:

Busan is incomplete without a trip to the beach - or in Korea, beers on the beach (its legal here, ok!). Even though the weather wasn't brilliant it was still nice to splash my toes in the water and wonder around Gwangwali.

Sharon chillin' in her bunk. We stayed at Calli Hosetl in Seomeyon, Busan. It is definitely one of the nicest hostel I have ever stayed in. Each bunk has clean white sheets, a plug point and a reading light. The bathrooms were also very clean. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Busan. This image makes Sharon sorta look like her legs are disconnected from her body. She still pulls it off though :)

Diamond Bridge on Gwangwali beach. This connecting bridge lights up at night between Namcheon-dong and Centum City and is over 7 kms long. Between the bright lights are my equally bright and pale legs.

It's a birthday right? Time to party. We all headed over to KSU for a night out on the town.

One of the goals of the evening was to use the two chat up line cards that we had handed out. A thank you to Lauren who wrote all the lines out on individual cards. Some of the worst were:
"Are you a garbage collector? Because I want you to come grab my junk" and
"Are you a marine biologist? Because you free my willy"

The significance of an assembly line is hugely important to ensure that everyone gets their drinks in a swift and orderly manner from the 7/11. Organisation is key. We are all drinking Andrea's cocktail concoction: Blue bag drink, soju and Sprite/Chilsung. It might make your tongue neon blue but it works.

Have a hangover? A trip to Subway is in order to deal with the after effects of tequila and being awake till 5 am. The subway cookies also help you to deal with the  reality of teaching grade 3's the following morning (I had 2 cookies).

What would going out partying be, without a 2 hour hair straightening and make up dabbing session. Here is a hair-straightening train. I was extremely proud that I straightened Lauren./ freakin' Rapunzel's hair.

And lastley.. Just a lovely weekend at the beach with all the girls.
