In the middle of the month, I went out for my friend's birthday and saw another friend's boyfriend pee in the middle of a busy Korean street. Nothing happened, it was amazing. Even more so when I think that a month later, I was hauled in for a camp fire.
At the end of April, I went and saw my friend Dan's kumdo tournament. It was awesome! Dan just went and attacked hardcore and the Korean dude didn't know what hit him. Sadly, his hit on the head was discounted and the Korean dude won. Dan was robbed.
Oh, sweet. According to my day planner, nothing else interesting happened in May. June, here we go! Gah, June was eventful.
The first thing I did in June was buy my ticket for India! I'm going to spend 3 glorious weeks on the beach in Goa, in the south. I fly into Mumbai on August 4th (I spend a couple days in Singapore before that) and I'm taking the train the next day. I plan on doing nothing but take pictures of churches and laying on the beach. I'm freaking terrified to be going to India on my own but I think it'll be cool. Everyone says that as long as I keep my wits about me, I'll be fine.
The weekend of June 15th, I went to Sokcho to see Steve's triathlon. That was my birthday present to him, I would travel to be a cheerleader and dude, it was the dog's bollocks! I love bus/train travel and it was rather pleasant 4 hour ride to the east coast. Steve's tri buddy Sonny was there too and he's awesome. When we got to town, I left them to do their registration stuff and I wandered around by myself (and with my new kinda fancy camera). It was weird, I was stared at so much, as foreigners aren't as common there as in Seoul. Regardless, I had a really good day. I got a seafood feast on the cheap and saw some really pretty beach stuff.
On Sunday morning, I went and hooted and hollered for Steve and Sony. They were amazing! Sony came in something like 10th overall and Steve won his age group! I think Sony was a little disappointed he didn't place but Steve was so freaking happy with how he did (he beat his personal best time by over 5 minutes!) and it was really nice to be a witness for him. I took the pictures of him on the podium and I was instructed to push and claw my way to the front and, by golly, I did.
After the race, we had a lot of time to kill before our bus back to Seoul so we went to frolic on the beach and it was glorious! The water was bracing and cold and the beach was great. I got a nice little sun burn but it was worth it. I also kicked Steve's ass at GoStop!
