Last night we got a message from our friend Kate asking us all to go for a couple of beers at Mike's Cabin at half ten. We accepted, and managed to faff around packing for ages, so we eventually arrived at 11:40, a full 70 minutes late. We are rubbish.
We played fives for ages, rendering both Henry and Leo insensible, and resulting in us going to bed at 4:30, with alarms set for 9. Well done us. We got off this morning without too much trouble, apart from the fact that the other two were useless for the first few hours of the day. Our bus journey was pretty cool, it took 5 hours and we passed through some incredible scenery - even the service station had a perfectly flat lake behind it, reflecting the mountains perfectly.
Ulsan is a strange place, trapped between mountains, which means it has multiple centres - when Jose drove us to the supermarket it took ages, passing from one built-up area to another via big stretches of emptiness. Jose lives in a Foreigner's Compound here, which has its own school, gym, pool, driving range and a few other things, all of which we are going to make full use of tomorrow. He even said we could use his car, but Henry (wisely) doesn't feel too comfortable driving a left hand drive automatic around a strange city which has no street names without an international driving licence.
This place also has a beach, which I'm going to investigate tomorrow, although I don´t think sunbathing is quite on the agenda yet. Also, I may have figured out where I'll be for new year, as Kate is going to be in Northern Thailand, which sounds like fun.
