Tiger masks -- for when you're deathly ill but still want to show your Korea pride!Saturday night Korea played Uruguay in the Round of 16 World Cup game. Having been immersed in pro-Korea advertisements for the last couple weeks, we were excited to see our adopted team play.
Mike even got in on the Red Devils fun by joining a subway ad cheering on the Korea team. (See ice skater Kim Yu-na on the right).
Seoul skyline from south of the river.We headed over to Banpo Park along the Han River to watch the game on a huge projection screen. But alas, it rained, so we went to our friends' house to watch the game instead.
It was a depressing evening -- both the U.S. and Korea lost their matches. But the teams' World Cup runs were fun while they lasted. I don't think I've gotten that into a tournament since the Bulls or White Sox were in the championships. And now we have these nifty jerseys to remember them by.
That second shot of Mike is hilarious. It seriously looks like Mike is photoshopped in and having a stroke.
ReplyDeleteKim Yu Na is disappointed. She brought home gold and this is what she gets for her hard work? Kim Yu Na evil eye time.
