Yesterday, I went to
Jeodo Bridge. Today, I (finally) checked out
Dotseom Island. This is a small island about 10 minutes off the Masan coast. You can get there via ferry at the Masan Passenger Terminal. They run ferries every half hour from 9 - 18 (8,000 Won per adult, which includes roundtrip tickets on the ferry). Supposedly, there is a guesthouse on the island, but I don't know much about it (alright, I don't know anything about it).
Let's go through the pictures.

She was able to hold out the snack, and a seagull took it from her fingers, but I couldn't film it.

Why do they have a Mexican pig?
Nice place. I'd go back to take friends along, but probably not on my own.
