4 fingered fisherman....

I've always wanted to be good at fishing. But I've never been good at fishing. You quietly wait for so long and finally you see and feel your bobber go under....hurray! You pull up fast. Too fast. And it's........outta there with your slimmy worm. RRRRRats!

I haven't fished in a looooong time. So on this past Saturday when Ots suggested fishing, I was all game. I'm talking sea fishing, not your typical fresh water ssstuff. It was something I had never done before. We (5 of us total) load up in Ots' father's car, stop at the market to pick up some sweet potatoes and beer, put on some funky, electronic music and head to the sea.

When we arrived, Super Junior sets up our fishing spot and puts together the long pole. He goes first. After a while he catches his first fish! Maybe I am just used to river fishing, but I looked at his fish and couldn't help but laugh. It was comparable to the size of a goldfish. He was so proud.

Next Ots tries. He also catches a fish. Now my turn...I wait....*replay script from above* By this time the sun was going down, and it was quite chilly so I gave up. Imma lousy, stupid, four fingered fisherman..... :)

Then we built a fire on the rocks. Lighting the fire was very unsuccessful until a friendly fellow fisherman (say that 3 times fast) poured a little gas on our wood pile for us. Some ah-jum-ma (the pushy, mean, old women in Korea) came out and yelled at us to put out our fire as soon as it was lit. Classic. We ignore, threw in the sweet potatoes and 10 minutes later....absolute deliciousness!

Sunday the weather was even more beautiful so after church that called for another trip to the sea. A different spot this time. It was so refreshing. Ulsan is sweet because you can drive 30 minutes to get to the sea or 30 minutes to be deep in the mountains.

Thus concludes my weekend adventures....
