...is how I describe my house to cab drivers in Pusan. "Gwang-ali" "beachy" "Kamsamneeda." Streets have no names and one is forced to describe where you live each time you take a cab. Because cabs are so cheap here it will probably be serious incentive to pick up more Korean.
My beach is beautiful. In the mornings I like to take a walk along the water after my latté at one of the many deserted cafés. (Life is rough here ;))It's a fairly popular beach but it is still off season so there is only a smattering of other walkers, usually all Korean. From what I've been told Koreans are pretty outdoorsy. Hiking is described as the national past time. So I would guess they take their walking seriously. However, I have never seen so many high-heeled shoes on a beach in my life! Almost without exception the beautiful and well dressed Korean girls who are out for a stroll in Gwang-ali hit the beach in 3" heels! My favorite thing about all this are the footprints left by the pointy stilettos in the sand.
