best day ever

Wow. Busan, you are an amazing city.

Today, I went to this park, and I was on the way to the Marine Museum. However, I heard this drum noises, so I followed their sound. The sounds lead me to some type of folk dance performance in the park. I sit down, take some pictures, and clap when it is done. A young woman approaches me and asks if I liked it. The usual introductions of where I'm visiting, how long I am staying are exchanged. I ask, "Is there anything in Busan you recommend I see?" The woman, July says, "We have great beaches. I teach a folk dance class this afternoon. I can take you." Ok. Then, her friend, Maya, comes up, and July asks if I have eaten. Nope, sure haven't. We got out to eat. July goes to her class. Maya takes me to the Busan tower where there are some cultural events for APEC. There is a mask dance at 3. Cool. Well, at one point in the dance, the guy in the mask pulls this kid from the audience and tells him to bring up some foreingers. Me and this APEC delegate from the US get pulled up on stage. We are asked to dance. So we dance. Then I got a necklace with a mask on it. Part way through the next event, an Incan band, Maya gets a call from July. We meet her and do some walking on the beach. We eat dinner. I get reconginzed from the mask dance by some other whiteys. Then we see the Busan bridge lights at nine. I'm tired. I'm going to Jeju tomorrow.
