BUSAN!

NO SMOKING ON THE BEACH! Me and Eva were the scary "no smoking" enforcers!
Morning of the tournament I was getting pumped and ready with my coach Zibby Kruk...I look mean=-would you want to mess with this?
We warmed up and did some stretching before we went in the ring....
This is lovely Busan in the morning...it was a HUGE city with some of the tallest buildings I have ever seen! It is in the middle of mountains and on the one side is right on the sea. It is the major port between Japan and Korea...many businesses and many many people!! We had traffic at midnight!
This is all the competitors lined up getting ready for the competition to start-there was a quite a nice turn-out for the first ever ITF Busan open! It was run fairly well-we even had a lunch-which is very rare!
BUSAN! Was amazing...last time I went it was only for the airport so I did not see any of it-but it has amazing condo buildings and structures all along the sea! It was a lovely city to visit-even if it was just for 24 hours! I had a lot of fun and ate lots of sashimi-which is raw fish...I even got to pick the fish before I ate it...
I liked Busan...but there was crazy traffic at midnight and we could not get anywhere...too many people in one place I guess!!
