Sunday, June 14

Sunday we woke up late and got lunch in Seoul. We ordered bulgogi (shown), bibimbap, and cold noodles, all delicious.



We also saw this Korean Starbucks.



In the afternoon we met friends of C&L for a baseball game. The LG Twins were playing the SK Wyverns. We rooted for the Twins since they were home team. A Korean baseball game is unlike those in the states. Everybody in the crowd has these balloon sticks that make noise when you hit them together. For the entirety of the game the crowd unleashes elaborate cheers of thunderous clapping in a sea of pulsating red balloon sticks. It is something to behold, and expound upon colorfully. There is even a guy on a stage in the bleachers who dances around and enthusiatically demonstrates what to cheer and to what rhythm and motion. Oh, and he has backup dancers. This game had a Hello Kitty mascot, but I think it was for a special occasion. Because she was annoying, it was especially funny when one of the players on the team punched her head off instead of giving her a high five when leaving the field.



Next, one of the Koreans in our group, June, showed us to a good "meat place," which meant primo barbeque. No complaints from this department. He even negotiated free side dishes and some beer for us in return for not going to the restuarant across the street!




Last of all we headed over to have a final drink. Laura wanted to pose with the drink.
