After changing money from the bank near the hostel (the exchange rate was getting better since the time we reach Korea), we reached 광안리 beach at about 10 in the morning, and it was already drizzling this early in the morning. We didn't kind of expect that, I mean, it's supposed to be summer after all! Anyway, we still managed to kayak for about 2 hours though the person gave us a 3 hours package for the price of 2. It was enjoyable kayaking under the drizzle, with the kayak accommodating all 3 of us, Seagulls were everywhere, especially on the rocks, and they've got a bad habit of dropping bombs on these rocks. It'd be good if we could try other sports, but time and money was quite an issue. While kayaking, we encountered this shark-like figure heading against the waves but was scared and curious at the same time. Oh well, we didn't pursue it.

We took a taxi back to hostel and washed up ourselves, and went to a nearby lotteria for lunch. It was quite a mess when I tried to take a shortcut back to hostel, and I'm really sorry for the misery I've caused you guys, especially Chen Fang who was not feeling very well even during the kayaking. Well, we passed by some love motels on the way, and it was pretty interesting because I saw some vending machines in these motels. Anyway, after hanging clothes in our room since it was raining, we went back to sleep until 5. I didn't know kayak was so draining. I was so tired that they had to force me out of bed to meet yuding and her friends.

They managed to find Wi-Fi and we whatsapp them that we'll be late, but they end up waiting for us for about an hour. Luckily, we still found them when we arrived at 부산대역. We introduced each other and went shopping. Typically, it was the last day for me and sixu, and they psycho me to use up my won to buy some clothes, and I bought a T-shirt, jeans, and a shoe. We went for dinner at a chicken place, the service was so-so but food was alright as well. While at the train, we got to know that yuding's friends actaully got pass busan without knowing or learning any Korean for 5 months during their exchange program, and they were planning on a Seoul trip and Japan trip before heading back to Singapore (awesome, man!).

To be honest, I've totally forgotten about our little plan to buy cake, when they challenged me and Chen Fang to go different routes to get back to hostel. Still, I managed to convince Chen Fang that I need a drink from the convenience store and she and yuding could go up and wash up. Sixu and I then rushed down the street and bought a cake for the celebration, and hid it in the fridge at the common area. It was quite crowded at the time. We borrowed a lighter from the smokers to light the candles, but was ruined by me breathing too hard when surprising the birthday girl from the back, and the fire was distinguished by it. Haiz.

Well, while we went out to the bench, 2 pretty 누나 came and offered to help us take picture. And we offered them a slice of cake each and they sat down with us and chat. As usual, I didn't talk much, I just listen. Turns out that the two ladies were from Seoul and they came to Busan for a getaway. They were a little racist and said they were scared of black people (LOL), like in Insadong. We had fun and slept quite late. A long, but good day!
