The Jones' Korean Adventure

This is Haeundae Beach...and it was sooo crowded. This picture doesn't really do it justice! We came here after our hike in order to get in the water and cool down!













When we first got to the beach we didn't really know where to go. There were people everywhere! Kinda felt like we had gone to the beach with 500,000 of our closest friends!









Once we found a spot, we decided to rent a yellow inner tube and ride the waves a bit. You can see in the picture that the tubes are a BIG hit! Everybody had them in the water, so each wave would jostle us and push us into other inner-tubers! The waves were great, and it was a fun way to cool off!
The lifeguards here are crazy intense...blowing their whistle every 5 seconds, and getting really nervous if anyone gets remotely close to the buoy lines (we've been told that many Koreans aren't great at swimming). Anyways, it was funny cause at 6:00 pm on the dot, everybody got out of the water...and noone was allowed back in! If people tried to sneak in, the lifeguards would freak out and blow their whistles and wave people back to shore. It was like there was some unspoken rule that "swimming after 6 is extremely dangerous". We couldn't believe how fast people cleared out...still not sure what that was about :0)
