Joylani says we have bad luck with museums, which I guess has some truth to it. Even if it didn稚, we had bad luck today. We set off for the Busan Museum of Modern Art in the early afternoon, hoping to see one of the few things that Joylani really wanted to see while in Busan. There was a lot of construction going on when we arrived and, upon trying to enter, were told that it was closed until Sunday. I think they were renovating and preparing for a new exhibit. A little disappointed and frustrated that we hadn稚 known this ahead of time, we decided to head to the beach in the nearby Haeundai district. The beach was just a wide strip of sand dividing the city from the ocean. There weren’t too many people at the beach, perhaps because it was a weekday and even fewer people in the water. It wasn’t frigid, but it was pretty cold. About as cold as on California’s Central Coast. We sat and talked for a little bit and then just fell asleep on the beach for I don’t know how long. But when we did eventually wake up, it was late-afternoon/early evening and we decided to head back.

We’re gone out nearly every night here in Busan, but tonight we were going to the club where Anderson DJs every Friday. We started off at a sushi restaurant where we scarfed tons of nigiri and maki. Then we stopped by a bar that looked like a bus, which specialized in bamboo liquor. It tasted a lot like sweet juice and was served out of a bamboo stalk. Afterwards we headed off to The Basement. It was an interesting experience, with a mix of foreigners and Koreans. I guess we caught it on one of its deadest nights in awhile. So we mostly played cards and drank beer. Anderson said he was a bit relieved it was dead because then he could just chill more instead of work and I was a bit relieved because I was dead tired by the time we got back home, which was earlier than usual. But it was definitely cool to glimpse another facet of the Muths weekly life here in Busan.
