Trip to Daechon

Last break I went to the coastal town of Daechon with my friend Kraha. When we originally started off we were actually trying to get to a different beach. But, when we got off the train we discovered that our map was incorrect and that we were still 40 kilometers from the coast. So we waited until the next train came by about an hour later and took it farther south to Daechon. Once we got off there we took a cab the 10km from the station to the beach and walked around for a little while. The beach was long and flat and covered with little black star fish. At the south end of the beach it has huge boulders that we climbed over, to go exploring. Didn't find anything to exciting except for some old fishing baskets that Kraha tried to use as a net and catch some fish. After that we climbed back over to the beach and then walked along the road towards the harbor. All along this road there were restaurants with fish tanks out front. There were thousands of all kinds of fish, octopus, squid, crustaceans, sea cucumbers, and even a few nurse sharks. You could pick any fish you wanted and they'd pull it out for you and cook it or just give it to you raw.

We continued to walk over to the harbor and when we got there we found that they had a "cruise ship" as well as ferrys that go out to all the major islands. We didn't have time to go out on a ferry so we decided to take a one hour tour on the "Sunflower." The boat was more of an old smelly trawler than an actual cruise ship, but it was fine since it was only ten bucks. They sold these nasty frys that taste like shrimp that all the Koreans love to eat and also throw to the seagulls. So as soon as we departed port all the Koreans and all the Seagulls flocked to the back of the boat to have a contest of who could eat the most. The one good thing about the trip was that we got to see drunk Koreans trying to dance.
