See Ya in Korea: Fireworks!!

Busan had a fireworks festival this weekend! I wasn't sure what the festival part would entail, but I do know I like fireworks, so I definitely wanted to be there!

We recently got a new teacher at our school, so Laura and I brought her along with us to join our adventure to Busan. Apparently the rest of Korea had the same idea though. We left for the bus station at around 4, and there was a huge line for the buses to Busan. Then, once we got on the bus, we had to sit through over 2 hours of traffic to the city. Once we got to the bus arrived we then had to take a taxi to the other side of the city where the fireworks were actually going on. Since Busan is the 2nd largest city in Korea, and there was traffic within the city, this took a while too. But, finally we got there and found the best spot to stand among the crowd of Koreans. The crowd was insane, and there was not much of a festival, just a few food stands around. But that's ok, because the fireworks were amazing!
