Haeundae
This afternoon Jung-Hee, one of our students, invited us to spend the day with her. I was unable to meet her initially as I was attending church and church related activites, but I met up with her and the other three teachers later in the afternoon to enjoy some time on another one of Pusan's famous beaches, Haeundae.
This past Friday was the last day of school for the K-12 students, so the beach was crowded, even though it was overcast and spitting rain, and the traffic around the beach was quite congested.
The water was quite warm compared to the water at Gwanganli, the beach we visited last weekend. This was surprising since we had cooler temperatures with all the rain we had last week.
The picture below is an arial shot of the beach taken from the top of one of the nearby apartment complexes. Edwin, the co-leader of the fellowship group I've joined, lives here. The group met there today. (They usually meet at a middle school near the church. I'm not sure why we met at his place today.) There were 31 on us! So, we had to divide in half. One half stayed in the apartment; the other half went on the roof of the apartment complex, where there was a place to meet and enjoy the view. This was my time to experience a rooftop Bible study.
