On the 13th of June, we kicked off the day with a trip to the Korean Folk Village (aka 민속촌). The event was fairly decent and we saw a lot of awesome stuff like traditional drummers, acrobats, poop, and donkeys getting it on…your basic trip to the Korean Folk Village. After an afternoon of traditional stuff we headed into the city which took at least 100,000 hours. This was because of the fact that today was Korea’s first offical World Cup match, so the entire country was on high alert.
Since my family had to depart the next morning, the parents stayed at the hotel to pack up their loot and the books about poop I was making them take back to the United States. The younger people in the party headed out to City Hall for a little soccer madness. So we rendez-voused with Sunhee and after a quick dinner, and a brief stop at the local 7-11 for brews and chips we headed over to the soccer viewing area and watched some soccer.
The soccer match was pretty decent, but the party! Holy Crap! My brother, not much of a sports fan, had a blast. Brews & Interviews! Woot! Woot! Anyhow Korea ended up winning which was outstanding, but on the way home I told Jinhui that we would be watching all future games at home. My siblings under the orders of my sister Rhiannon, left before the game actually ended and were able to get back to their hotel in about 13 minutes or so.
Jinhui, Sunhee, and I stayed until the end (which happened a little before 12), and ended up getting home at something like 3:30 in the morning. I’m not really sure how we got home, and I’m even less certain about how all three of us were able to snag seats on the bus, but we all did.
Anyhow if you want to see pictures of donkeys having sex, or traditional drummers, or an army of Koreans in red t-shirts drinking beers in the street check the photos located right here! And for those of you who are sick and tired of reading about me being a tour guide, fear not, the next post will be the last of this sort!
