Life in Dadaepo

If you Google Daedapo Beach Busan you will find that one thing it is famous for are the beautiful sunsets. I typically go running around the 7 o'clock hour just as the sun is starting to go down. Each time I am running along the ocean I remind myself that not everyone gets a chance to witness the sun setting or such beautiful scenery for a run. Now, I won't forget to mention that while I do run along side the ocean I am also running along a 4 lane highway with factories lining the opposite side. I just keep my eyes on the ocean and turn the music up and pretend the highway is not there! 
Our apartment is at the end of the hall and we have a door we can close off to the rest of the hall so you can't see our front door. It is nice to be able to prop the door open without anyone looking in. However, we have some very curious neighbor kids that occasionally like to come and see what we are up too! Next door lives a family of 4. The two children both can speak English. The boy is a first grade middle schooler which is the same as a 6th grader. The girl is a 4th grader in elementary school. A few doors down lives the happiest little girl on the planet ( in picture above)! She is always all smiles, her baby sister on the other hand seems terribly unhappy. Every time I pass by I can hear her crying or occasionally I can see her sound asleep on the bed ( her parents probably in relief). I would love to sneak a picture of her snoozing on the bed! One afternoon when the door was open the neighbors must have dropped by 50 times. I told them they could come in and they ran straight for the bed. I was a little shocked as they were jumping on our bed, it was not long before the brother put a stop to that! They are sweet kids and always say hello to us when we come home through the window!
