So I decided that I needed to catch up on blogging many of the events that I have been up to over here in Korea and seem to have neglected getting around too. Anyways one particarly auspicious day was when Soju Monster and I hiked around Taejongdae (태종대). Taejongdae is an island that is near the main harbor and Busan Station here in Busan, although it is so well connected to the mainland it totally doesn’t feel like an island. The island is named after King Taejon who used to go to the island for recreation purposes and to practice archery. The island is also morbidly famous for being a popular suicide spot. Young people and couples tend to throw themselves off it’s steep cliffs into the turbulent sea beneath them, hence the name of my post. Anyways Soj and I hiked around the island checking out the scenic cliffs, light house, and then ending the day eating some still living seafood on the beach. I have to tell you that eating chopped up octopus tenacles that are trying to crawl away from the spicy sauce dripped on them has to be one of the more exotic meals I have had. It definitely is strange when the food your eating attempts to cling to the roof of your mouth in order to prevent being digested. Anyways the day was thoroughly awesome!!!
