Day 4: Trying to Recover...

Joseph and I woke up at 10.. and went to check out the beach across the street for a second. I went back in to take a nap but Joseph had took a taxi to get to a bank. (He had a lot less money than he had expected to have in the morning.) Joseph came back after an hour or so. Alex and I then woke up later at 1 pm. We left for the liquor store and bought some sandwiches (again) and juice. We checked out at 3 pm and hung out in front of the motel. Everyone was either sick or recovering from the night before.

We met Jin Heok's (who had left for the military earlier) father and mother at a nearby sushi restaurant. We and ate tons of sashimi and fried fish. Joseph's uncle brought Ballentine whiskey for all of us to drink (ugh)... raw fish and whiskey is not a good mix.. Joseph drank about 5 shots of whiskey (even pouring one for himself! Alex and I on the other hand refused a drink from Joseph's uncle... rude americans!).

After dinner (Joseph was drunk) we left to a park near the ocean



where there are 2 giant hand statues in the shallow waters of the ocean and in the park (the hands of god). We took some pictures and left.





We took some pictures on the way back at POSCO and the bridge adjacent to the factory.



Our plan was to go to sleep early because we had to wake up and be ready to go at 8 am the next day. We got back to the motel at 9 pm. Alex and I went to sleep but Joseph went back out to see more of his mother's hometown.
