Not a huge week this last one, but we did definitely have some fun. We had a picnic at the local park, called Okgu Park (옥구공원) and climbed the mountain, the first time I had since last fall. Not a huge climb, but it had a nice 'good to be back' vibe to it. Nice sunny day in the park, took a lot of pictures but I'll just put a few up here.
It's world cup time here and the Korean's are mad for their team. Star player Park Ji San (박지산) is a huge hit, and every day the kids want to talk about soccer in class. We went out to see the first match against Mexico and South Africa. One of the American gals here is Mexican, and she was rooting hard for them, but the rest of us wanted ZA to take the win, and keep the good spirit of the games up. Ended up as a tie, but we had a good night. Saturday night Korea played Greece and won, and there were drunken Koreans in Soccer Jersey's crowding the streets. We grabbed a seat at a bar and played drinking games while watching the action. This weekend we're going to some sort of river sport / blackberry festival, should have some good pictures. Until then, enjoy our Korean friend Hannah being very Korean.
