Haeundae Beach

This far south, this year at least, you can go to the beach as early as May. The water was a bit cold, but there were people in there swimming. I went a couple weekends ago to Haeundae Beach in Busan with Leon, but since we didn't get there until 2:00, there were only a couple more hot hours left in the day. I tried the water when we first got there, but was too lazy to get back up again and go in for a swim.


Here are some pictures from the beach:





The funny thing about Korea is that most people are always dressed up pretty sharply, even at the beach:



Sailboat:


There were some guys jetskiing in the water, including this douchebag, who often would turn around and ride the thing backwards, dangerously close to the shore, where all the people were swimming. He was acting like such a jackass that we thought he was a white guy, but I think we ended up determining that his face gave him away as a Korean. I guess there are Koreans who are as douchey as American showoffs.
Then again, he could have been Korean-American.
Down the beach a bit was this reggae DJ. I was sitting on some steps, so pardon all the crotch/ass shots. Those old guys kind of got in my way for a while.
