S-E-O-U-L




Brett's really into football (soccer) and knows when all the games are here. We travelled into Seoul yesterday to see Seoul's football team go against Bucheon (a neighbouring city). Half the fun was seeing the World Cup Stadium, which was built for the 2002 World Cup. The stadium holds about 40,000 people, so the 5,000 who attended yesterday didn't look like a lot. I've never been to a soccer match before and as the weather gets even better, I'm looking forward to attending a few more games while I'm here.

If you have the time, download a clip from the game - the crowds chanting one of their many songs.
