釜山の最後の写真
最後の釜山のスタルワルス旅行の写真：
On my way to the movie theater to see Episode 3, I was invited to try to win some free movie passes to "Kingdom of Heaven" by one of those yellow miniskirted campaign girls. I was surprised a bit, since generally the ones in Japan don't bother foreigners that much (since they assume we're tourists or something, and have no need for whatever they're promoting... which in this case i actually was).
Further perplexing was how the girl thought I would have any chance winning anything -- the game required you to stack those blocks up to spell something (in Korean) before the train came back around the track or something like that.
Where would a trip to a foreign country be without a sampling of their local McDonalds be? Korean McDonalds aren't too much different I suppose... the major difference was the fact that they had plastic reusable cups insetad of throwaway paper ones. But I noticed that they (and most places in Korea apparently) have free refills on their soda. They have advanced far beyond Japan in this respect (actually you can get free refills at Costco and some family restaurants in Japan... its not /that/ backwards).
OK, another difference would be the presence of a giant fiberglass rotating Elvis statue... I only went to this one McDonalds during my short stay, but I'm guessing this is not a common feature.
It was here that I met up with the 'Star Wars Group' from Japan... which really turned out to be just the one guy I was in touch with, two japanese friends of his who were mostly there for the shopping and some Korean girl he knew (sitting) and her friend.
The theater was actually above this McDonalds. Ticket to the movie were only ~$6.50, and despite being opening night, it was pretty empty at this theater.
Afterwards the Korean friends took the fanboy guy and I to a fancy bar/club type place nearby. They had live music for a while, but it was mostly just quiet tables. The girl was slightly sassy... her friend was not sassy at all.
After the girls went home we tried to go to here:
The Batman Bar. But apparently it has recently shut down.
But even late at night, lots of people out at food stands and the so-called 'shoju tents.'
Next day I got a haircut (less than $10... more than china but less than japan), checked out of my hotel and tried to do some shopping before my boat left at 3pm:
More campaign girls... except this time no one was actually stopping to pay attention (except for maybe me). This one was kind of sad, it was basically two skinny girls sort of pretending to dance to some familiar Kpop tunes blaring out of a sound system behind them and randomly talking about dishwashers or something (while no one listened).
For lunch... I had a rendezvous with Jared!
On my way back to the subway station, i spotted another kind of lackluster pair of promotion girls... They definitely haven't reached the level of campaign development you see often in Japan.
final shot before going through customs and getting on the boat. Note my new summer hair style. :-P
