So all you blog fans, I, your trusty blogger, am back to finish up the remainder of the holiday weekend. You might ask yourself, "Why does she have so much time on her hands these days?" Well for those of you who don't know, Jay is working extra hard these days which leaves me with lots of time well, by myself. So I figure, what else have I got to do? haha Anyways, onto the stuff that matters!
We headed back early Monday from 
Busan to go to the Daegu FC game at World Cup Stadium. We didn't quite know how to get there or what to expect but what else is new? We jumped into a cab and headed over to the stadium. We had heard a little rumor that the game was free because it was Children's Day... however that turned out to be false. Well I guess it was partly true as it was free for CHILDREN (that should have been obvious). The game itself was not overly exciting, but that may just be because I am not a huge soccer fa
n, and well there really weren't that many people there. But the half time show was gold! It started out with 4 army dudes rappeling from the rafters. When they got to the ground they whipped out automatic weapons and started firing (blanks 
of course). Next 4 more guys came down with this time head first and when they got to the ground they were firing different guns (handguns I think but what do I know about guns?)... this continued for 4 different groups of 4 army guys all firing guns, luckily the opposite direction of where we were seated. Then a huge group of Korean martial arts men came marching onto the field where they proceeded to put on a martial arts kicking, jumping and breaking stuff show. All very amusing! Following this the game went back to the second half which was ok. (but no guns and no martial arts)

One of my favourites from this game was the folks 
who made hats out of newspaper to protect themselves from the sun. Why not just bring hats? you ask... well who knows... maybe it is a lot easier to make one... maybe the paper ones are more stylish... maybe they really just like paper crafts... your guess is as good as mine. 
It was funny though because we chose to sit where we were because we wanted to get some sun and enjoy the day, however we were like the ONLY people sitting there. Everyone else was sitting way up in the stands because it was under the shade. I will give the Koreans one thing... they are definitely not going to succomb to skin cancer any time soon... the number of people I see wearing full length pants and long sleeve shirts on 30 degree days is unreal. Its like they just don't feel the heat.

That is about it for the game. We headed from here down to Suseong Lake for the boys to play a little basketball and to enjoy being outside for a little bit longer. Then it was on to restaurant street for a little galbi (marinated thinly cut pieces of beef that you eat wrapped in a lettuce leaf with rice and other sides) before heading home. Another great day in the Gu!
