Actually my vacation started a week before I left for Scotland. I spent one beatiful weekend on the beach on Namhae island, just a 90 min drive from home. I went with my Korean friends from town, and in fact may have been the only foreigner on the beach. It was so crowded! a majority of beachgoers got yellow innertubes to float on, and the ocean was like a bowl of cherrios. There was seriously a 1km long, 50m wide swath where you couldn't swim without bumping into someone. It was a fun day, we played in the surf, had a bbq on a portable gas grill, threw some frisbee and just enjoyed ourselves.
After a half week of rain and tennis (on alternate days) it was time to leave town. First stop Suwon, where another former Smaug teammate, Raj "The Bus", was in town on business. We donated some money to the military via poker, then got really drunk at a bar that served mixed drinks in galvanized tin buckets. It was good to be able to catch up with a friend I haven't seen in a few years.
Next day I was off to Seoul to start the day with a little frisbee. As always it was nice to let the plastic fly. I had to play barefoot because I didn't want to bring my cleats to Scotland, but the grass was luscious. It was hot and humid (had been all month) so I was really looking forward to wearing a sweater in Scotland the next week. That night we had a classic party night in Itaewon. In the back of my mind I knew this might be the last time I see a lot of my K frisbee friends, so I went all out and had a great time.
