Carl and Dian's visit went really well. They got to see a lot of interesting new places, and so did we! Sunday we took them to Seokbulsa (a mountain temple with Buddhas carved into the rock face) and Busan Tower (a good place to see the skyline of the city), and Jagalchi (a fresh seafood market where you can pick out your fish and eat it too. We ate still wriggling octopus, raw abalone, and boiled king crab, mmmm.)and Nampodong (a huge traditional market selling anything and everything you could possibly need). On Monday while we were at work, they went to Beomeosa temple and Taejongdae (a seaside walking park with temples, a lighthouse, a pebble beach, and beautiful ocean side cliffs). On Tuesday we accompanied them to Haedong Yonggungsa (the temple by the sea), and they went to Haeundae beach while we worked for the afternoon. On Wednesday we had the day off for Children's Day, so we took them to Dadaepo beach for some hiking, and to Shanghai/Texas street for some killer Chinese massages. While they were here, we tried to give them a sampling of all the best Korean foods: shabu shabu, chicken galbi, traditional fish and bulgogi with tons of banchan (side dishes), kimbop shops, and barbecue.
I think they had a great time while they were here, even if they conked out early because of the jet lag. I think it was a trip they will never forget!
