What other, normal, way to spend an early Saturday afternoon (10/15) than running around the city, performing tasks and tricks in an attempt to win a scavanger hunt?!
No other way, I say. Sure, I was a little hesitant at first - a scavanger hunt? doing who knows what? on a Saturday afternoon?... perhaps I'll pass.
But I didn't. I joined in, sans a costume, and laid tracks with my teammates throughout the eastern corner of Busan.
Tasks ranged from easy (take a picture in the ocean - no biggies we live on the sea) to difficult (find an ajushi to give one of your teammates a piggie back ride - luckily for us, we found an older gentleman who had been on the soju all morning and gladly let our teammate hop right on!).
The biggest difficulties were actually finding or being willing to do all the tasks (have one of your teammates eat a cup of bongdaege (silkwarm larva) not happening!!).
But we weren't going to let these tasks keep us out of the race! Instead, we capitalized on creativity and art of recreating! ^^
No card ninja in sight? No problem! Stand next to a scooter and have a Korean man throw random business cards (that you collected from the stores nearby) at you!
No accessorized dog in sight? No problem! Go to Eva's and put your teammate's scarf on her dog!
Check. Check. Check. Knocking off tasks left and right!
We didn't manage to do all the tasks listed, there were around 40 of them, but we did manage to win 2nd place! And a free keg of beer!!
