Last Week in Busan

Here is my last week in Busan. I was extremely busy with last minute preparations, but still managed to play a little. What to do after this year? I was presented with different options, but ultimately have decided to teach for one more year. My sad farewells to Busan. I have now moved on to Jeju Island where my heart has always leaned towards.

Boy, if a picture could say a thousand words... Don't you fret though... In order to apply for the first stage of New Zealand residency, I'm required to have a FBI report. In order to obtain this, I had to get my fingerprints at a larger police station. Jina was kind enough to translate for me, but it still wasn't the easiest process. Fingerprinting isn't as common here, so we needed to go to the other office in the Nampo-dong. They were kind enough to transport us in this fine looking vehicle, but Jina was pretty embarrassed to ride in the back with me.

I caught this in action photo of Jack & Lauren pointing to a strange foreigner in one of the classes. If you click on the picture to expand it, you can vaguely see Josh making a guest appearance. Josh is now going to utilize these acquired teaching skills in Taiwan. Best of luck to you Josh!

This roof top party, above the 14th floor, had been planned before I even had my departure date. Yet, Jessica, Amanda & Andrea were kind enough to call it my going away party. They did a great job of setting everything up!

Sparing no expense...

These are the two who allowed me to jump on board with their travels. I left with Josh & Paul a few days after this gathering.




Paul taking a swing at this macho machine. Of course, we all took a swing at it.


Nick, Andrea, Drew, Paul & I at the Ol'55 bar.




Josh & I take a moment for a photo.




Dancing on stage looking down at the crowd. Can you spot the westerner?



This was the fullest I'd seen this canal & it also happened to be on the day I was leaving Busan. Best wishes to you all!
