Fireworks in Busan

The Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF) closed with a fireworks
show, so we decided to check it out.

(Pusan is the same as Busan. P's and B's are interchangeable, as are G's and K's in the Romanization of Korean words.)


The journey from Ulsan to Busan is normally about an hour by bus, but a little misinformation given to Andrew, led his, Judy and Matt's bus ride to be over the two hour mark and still require a 20+ minute taxi ride to meet up with everyone. Luckily, they had burritos waiting for us so we didn't have to miss out on Mexican for lunch!



Everyone on Haeundae Beach, our meeting place

Our neighbors tossing the frisbee in sweet man thongs


Fawn and Judy


O'Kims!

"I'm on top of the world!"

This was Fawn's hat, but Andrew took an immediate liking to
it,
and hijacked it for the rest of the trip, as you'll see...

A meeting of the minds

The first of many group shots
(and pictures of Fawn holding people)



The Tomato Cruise Hotel...

The fireworks were launched from this bridge

A sad Fawn


Eugene and Jay







The fireworks were amazing. We're pretty sure most of them would
have been illegal in North America.


It looks like Korey was dancing a jig and
Judy and Amy flew in behind him to join.



We attacked these poor Korean girls and forced them to take this picture with us



Judy's turn for soju

No idea what's happening here

Group Hug

More Group Hug

And the group hug grows...









We're in an elevator, let's take pictures!




The waitresses...


Victory hug

She drank all those...

Policemen, let's take a picture!


Time to say goodbye to the hat
