Yung June and Pil, two Korean coworkers, invited Brandon and I to join them for a fishing trip to Songdo Beach. After a 40 minute bus ride and 30 minute cab ride to the south west side of Busan, we arrived at Songdo Beach. Our new Korean friends bought us a couple buckets of chicken and a few drinks to enjoy as we sat on the beach. We swapped stories about our experiences in the US and asked them numerous questions about all the intricacies of Korea. We then decided to swim for about an hour prior to fishing. Pil and Yung June were having a great time (I know this because they told us as much several times throughout the day) and so were we, so when they asked us to do some late night fishing in the area and stay the night in Songdo we gladly accepted. The fishing was unsuccessful except for a 3-inch fish I happened to snag on my second attempt. But, the trip was a big success. We learned a ton about all things Korean, shared our knowledge of all things American, and ignited a friendship with 2 really cool Koreans.
