It only took a week at orientation to forge friendships, a day to separate us into our new homes and cities and a year spent making promises to meet up and make visits.
They weren't all lies, but the promises I made about having many return trips to Daegu weren't all true either.
I did manage to get there twice last year - for Tim's birthday and to visit Zac/conquer Herb Hillz. But that was it. Daegu is only a 45min train away from Busan, yet my adventure-culture-seeking self only managed to get there twice in 12 months. Awesome job Meagan.
Our Daegu friends did visit Busan quite a bit - for festivals, to get away from their home cities, to see us. Busan makes for a nice spot to visit. And that's not to say that Daegu isn't, I have just been shit about getting there.
So after weeks and months of trying to work out a time to get back to Daegu; Keith, Michael and I finally found a weekend that worked for all us!
Friday (6/1) - We arrived in Daegu around 8pm and headed for Zac's. We were all down for an easy night - dinner, talking, maybe sipping on a beer or two while watching a movie.
That night we headed downtown to meet up with other players from the GAA and have a few drinks.
We even ran into one of my favorites, Totoro!!
Sunday (6/3) - A bit groggy from all the beer the night before, we were slow to get started; but we finally managed to get outside and take a short hike through a park in Zac's neighborhood before having to get the train and head home to Busan.
I don't often know exactly what's coming next, and that makes it more fun. And you know, for me... it's all about having fun and getting away... for just a little while.
