Busan - Day 2

The actual reason why I'm in Busan is a video shooting. Talking details would be risky, but I'm sure I can tell you a little bit about it. After meeting Maska for a late coffee last night I went to the designated hotel in Haeundae. The guy at the lobby said that someone had already checked in under my name. I didn't get mad, but I told them how stupid a mistake I thought that was. 

The room was pretty boss, a shame that I had to leave at five in the morning today. I got up a little extra early and took my time getting ready. A bus took us to the first location and I had to change into a funny outfit. They said it was fashionable and I had no right to disagree, my position was merely of secondary, perhaps even tertiary importance. I didn't mind, and I couldn't bother. 

Several shots were taken at the first location, all in all it was a fun experience. Best thing about it was that Giwoun was there with his creative crew, and we could goof around with his wheelchair in between takes. By lunchtime I had about six cups of coffee. Waiting can be exhausting. That's why I was glad that the shot at the second location was done within half an hour. Easy. 

They say Busan is much warmer than Seoul, but I'm not sure I agree. Once the sun goes down it's pretty much the same. I got a new outfit and had to mingle with fifty other extras, most of them nice people. We had to scream in silence, party on command, and sprint towards blinding flood lights. It was cold. I was tired. But it was the end of a great day. I actually had a lot of fun.
