So, I have been watching this Korean Drama called "Boys before Flowers" 꽃보다 남자. It is pretty awesome. My favorite kind of humor: absurdity. Anyhow, so it's about this school with the richest kids in all of Korea. Their houses and apartments are three times the size of all the apartments I have seen in Busan... put together, and they eat lunch in a place that looks like a four star restaurant. Now, it did occur to me on several occasions to ask "Where on Earth did they find sets for all this stuff?"

Answer: Heyri!

I get into the elevator my first night and there, on the elevator wall, is the photograph of all the characters. This love motel, picked because my new foreign friends said that it was supposed to be nice, was the set of my favorite Korean drama! The room WAS nice. It had a tub, which I had been dying to get a hold of, and bubble bath stuff that made my skin feel so nice. The bed was HUGE, too!

After a lovely night of relaxing, I headed out to Heyri. Once I found the tourist office, I rented a bike and started peddling my way around the city. It was so nice to be out of the city, to not hear any more cars, to not hear anyone competing to be heard and there, the whir of my bicycle beneath me. I even rang the bell a couple of times, just so I could hear its sound playing theatrically against the backdrop of quirky modern houses.

The eating hall was in a restaurant: one that looked too expensive for me. In the same place, there was the library they used and everything.

Hrm... Well, it was really a great trip. The food was great, I had this kimchi, rice and corn dish which was divine and just got out of there before the tourist rush. I'm going to go back.

That sounds awesome!
