D&T's Busan Birthday Bash - Hanging at Haeundae

After dropping off our stuff, and stocking the kiddie pool/cooler, we headed to Haeundae Beach to spend some time in the sun.

SEXY mom...
We stopped at the Fuzzy Navel on
the way for some Mexican food.

Here, Teresa is dousing her burrito in
Fuzzy Navel's amazing green chili sauce.
The sauce, in its NUDE Bottle
The sweetest scooter in the world.
There is nothing better than Louis Vuitton print.

This soccer game just happened to begin on the beach directly in front of where we were sitting. It was a sign from the heavens...

From the looks of his body,
the guy in the purple Speedo might have come from heaven.
Pretty certain this guy is not an angel

Unless his shirt is lying, this guy is a Nordic Prince.

Lookin' good, Adam!

After a while on the beach, the wind began to pick up. We were starting to get sand in places we shouldn't, so we packed up and headed across the street to find shelter.

D&T's Busan Birthday Bash - The Mashnote

Teresa's (45th) birthday was on May 26th, and Dave's was on June 1st, so they combined them into one celebration. Technically, the celebration did occur after Teresa's birthday (her 45th) so it was really just for Dave, but since she's so old, we let her think it was hers too.

According to Dave, it was a 4 Part Plan:
Part 1: Train Party
Part 2: Beach Party
Part 3: Actual Party
Part 4: Day After Party

Although we weren't completely privy to the 4 Part Plan, and received the details about it at the train station, we were, however, completely down for it.

Once we got off the train, the mission was to find a love motel, check-in, then head to the beach to begin Part 2. The first motel we tried was Motel Show. It was brightly colored and had nice pictures on the outside. It also had these two loving wrestlers and this poem...

A life without love, without the presence of
the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic lantern show.
We draw out slide, swiftly tiring of each
and pushing it back to make haste for the next.

(It's really deep, in case you didn't notice)

Sadly, the Motel Show was super expensive, so we ended up across the street at the Mashnote. While not as visually stimulating or appealing as Motel Show, the Mashnote was just what we were looking for.

Ma-she No-tuh Mo-tell

The rooms were pretty bare...

...until they opened one of their gifts!


Everyone had to pitch in

uses for the inflatable shrooms.

Yes, Teresa, this is definitely a possibility...

The completed product!
Isn't she beautiful?

With all the required set up taken care of at the hotel,
we were ready to begin Part 2.

Dan & Sherry Come to Asia!!! - The WA Motel

Andrew, being the good son he is, opted out of a hotel for his parents and put them up in a love motel. Love motels are all over Korea: some themed, some nice, and some not so nice. Andrew and his co-teacher spent a good portion of a week calling area love motels in search of the perfect one, and finally decided on a VIP room at the WA Motel. It was close to the beach and near an easy landmark to tell taxis.

During the day... ...and after the sun goes down... The view from their room

At first we thought the room didn't have windows because those giant pictures slide side to side to cover them.

Sadly, this was the only time one was ever worn. The super toilet
The window into the bathroom.
The toilet is directly below that window.
