My first soccer match!

October 15, 2013. Cheonan, South Korea.

Went to the Korea-Mali match this past Tuesday with four friends. Three of us showed up 2 hours early to get tickets...which were all sold out. So we wound up buying tickets from some old ajusshi (old, grouchy Korean man) scalpers, which turned out much better than we thought it was going to. The seats were first come, first serve, so we got pretty decent seats since we showed up early. Unfortunately, the weather is starting to get much colder and Neal Teacher was only wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. So I wound up cowering behind a friend's umbrella/windshield until everyone else showed up with pizza and chicken.

I've never been too in to soccer, but the game was really really great. Everyone went crazy every time the Korea team got close to the Mali goal and it was a lot of fun being able to be in the middle of all that. I might just go to more of these...
