Monday was the actual holiday, and we spent most of the afternoon at Haedong Yonggungsa (해동 용궁사), a seaside temple. The bus ride there was packed. The temple was super crowded. And there were a lot of steps. I obviously had some complaints.
We went back to our hostel and napped for an hour before picking up fried chicken and beer and watching the sunset at Gwangalli beach (광안리해수욕장).
After we got back to the hostel, I walked to Haeundae and sat on the beach for a bit. The water is still warm enough to swim, but Korea is really weird about their beaches. Like, you can swim in the ocean from July 1st to August 31st, and that's it. It doesn't matter if the weather is nice before or after then, no one is swimming. I walked in up to my knees without anyone yelling at me, surprisingly.
After the beach, I met back up with my friend and we went downtown and got barbeque for dinner, sang karaoke, and walked around the shopping/clubbing area until like 2am, then we came home the next day.
Bonus : the hostel we stayed at had 2 cats.
