Mallipo (Ma-Lee-poe) Beach

It had been raining non-stop around here but by last weekend, we decided to go out anyway. We had a three-day weekend, so we went to this beach in this little town on the west coast. It was really nice because once we arrived, the rain stopped, and we enjoyed some time on the beach. It drizzled a little and we went in and got some dinner, when we came out, it had stopped. The sun had already set, and Korean people gathered on what was left of the beach (the tide had come in) to shoot off fire crackers sold in the convenient shops. It was so fun! Oh yeah, I was looking at this star fish when a man, who was walking by, just picked it up and threw it like a frisbee onto the rocks. I was so surprised I was shocked! I think he thought I would laugh, and when he realized I wasn't going to, he just kept on walking. So thoughtless. I went and found it and it's edges were a little bent. I put it back in the ocean... The next day we killed time while it was raining in a little arcade. My peace loving boyfriend played mortal combat type testosterone games, while I played Tetris (and got the 11th highest score!) It was really funny to me to watch him play these violent fighting games, it just doesn't compute with everything I know about him! We had a great time in the little town, and returned to bustle of Seoul for an underwhelming evening and arrived home the next day.
