Fun times in Busan

After the long weekend at the beginning of the month, I spent a couple weekends staying local. It was raining, and I felt like I need to relax anyway. I did alos get a gym membership this month, cause I felt like I'm not getting enough daily exercise. I made a few new friends this way, which is nice, but the best part is after you are down working out. They have a dry sauna, three hot tubs (bubbly, extra hot with sea water, and green tea enhanced), and an extra cold swimming pool; it's very relaxing.

Last weekend the weather was good at last, just in time for a planned trip to Busan to meet up with a bunch of frisbee friends again. Busan has Korea's most popular beach, in the summertime you cannot even get a tan there because the sand is almost 100% covered by umbrella shade. But May is not official beach season, so even on a ncie day there was room to set up some fields and play some beach ultimate. We had a tournament. It was lots of fun, and my team ended up winning. To make it more memorable I had one of the my best catches ever in the finals: full field huck in hard to read wind, full extension layout grab, and it was game icing (took a 2 pt lead to 4 pts, and we just needed one more for the win).

Also I found a new trick to drink for free when we went out Saturday night. At dinner someone told a lame story about how he and a friend had a bet to see who could stand on one leg the longest. The loser stepped down after 18 minutes. So I disparaged their endurance, and asked a stupid question "Which leg got tired, the one dangling on the air, or the one that was supporting the weight of your entire body?" and it was on. Almost a dozen people ended up taking part in the challenge on the rooftop of a bar. After half of us outlasted 20 min we demanded shots of liquor to continue. In the end 4 of us got about 4 or 5 free drinks each over the course of another hour before, in a show of solidarity and boredom, putting our other foot down in unison for the tie. Then I went downstairs and won a game of connect 4 for my final drink.
