At the end of June, I visited Tiffany in her new town, Seosan, on the west coast of Korea. After arriving on Saturday morning, we hung out and chatted for a few hours before heading to an incredible shabu-shabu dinner, where we got free extra meat because our waiter was one of her students. So we then rolled ourselves home and watched a silly movie from the 90s with some wine before sleep.
Sunday morning we woke up and went for a coastal drive. The first beach we stopped at was a bit dirty and super foggy, but also covered with tiny little baby crabs that chased away after each other and either away from our toes or towards them in angry defiance. They were very cute.
We then found a larger beach that was at first so hazy we couldn't even see the water. After a yummy picnic lunch, we ventured out towards where we figured must be sea. It turns out that the beach went out so slowly and shallowly that the water was caught in small pools and evaporating, causing this horror-movie steam over the beach. Once we reached the water, it was actually very beautiful, and I set about rescuing starfish that had washed too far up onto the beach.
We went back to Tiff's and rested a bit before I had to catch the bus home. I feel very lucky to have met her here in Korea and I know we'll stay in touch, if only because I'll need someone to blame for the strange expletive combinations she introduced into my vocabulary!
