SOUTH KOREA SOCCER, 2007 PEACE CUP KOREA


Yesterday we went to the 2007 Peace Cup, a soccer tournament in South Korea. The two teams were from professional leagues in Spain and England. The stadium is the former 2002 FIFA World Cup stadium located in Ilsan, near Daewha subway station, exit #3. Mi and I attended with many other foreign teachers and tickets were 24,000 KRW each. Scalpers were also selling tickets for 10,000 Korean Won a piece, outside the stadium. The match lasted 90 minutes, which is a standard length game. Jeremiah had the best time of all when he found "the danger zone" with his Soju-Gatorade Big Gulp! The last subway left Daewha Station at 10:30pm, we were just in time, and the trip back home lasted 2 hours. Last weekend's trip to the Boryeong Mud Festival cost almost the same price, I would have loved to have done that again, but the holiday provided the R&R I needed to keep pace back at school. Our intensive sessions will start on the 24th of July. Longer teaching hours and the same money...hmmm. Well, it's good keeping busy during the off moments in Korea. ^_____^ Take Care!
