So my friend Tian has a bunch of Korean friends. Some of the guys invited us out for a relaxing weekend to the west coast beach (May 25-26) Now before you get your undies in a bundle "But Audrey! Going to the beach and staying in a hotel with strangers is dangerous!" I've met them before, well, I've met Thomas and YK at least twice before and they're very nice and not creepy in the least. It was my first time meeting Oz (oh-ji). He's actually pretty cool too. (i found out he speaks some Swahili! My first Korean who knows what Swahili is!) Tian has spent much more time with them so I knew it would be fine. We got what the guys called a "condo" which is like... 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen and balcony with a view of the ocean. It was so NICE!
We walked along the beach and went to the "water park" which was like a spa with lots of warm pools. The water made my sore knees and back feel brand new for a little while.
We cooked for ourselves. The guys wanted me to cook them some American food. I told them I could make Italian-American food. I made garlic-basil chicken. Tian and Thomas helped me. I was impressed with how well these guys could cook. It seems they liked my chicken, though as true Koreans, it wasn't spicy so they had to add something spicy. They came up with kimchi garlic basil chicken. It was very good.
When the tide goes out, it goes out pretty far and the water thins enough to let people pass on dry ish ground as you can see there.
I really enjoyed spending time with them. Their English is very good and clear. But beyond that, they're interesting and fun people to be around. They like having fun and trying new things, and had lots of goofiness. We all stayed up late playing games and talking about stuff.
The next day we went to Daechon beach for a short time before heading back home.
In the car on the way to the beach.
I was trying to do a self camera with me and Tian but missed, and this was the picture that was taken. Thomas totally photo bombed us!
It wouldn't be a beach trip without someone sticking their head out of the sun roof.
So when we got to the beach, we made sure to bomb a photo back.
And we'll end it with a little aegyo. Look how cute they are!
