Friday, June 15.
Today was a rest day...we went back to the World Cup Stadium and saw a movie. Shrek 3. Wanted to see Pirates, but it didn't show until late tonight. Prices for this stuff is the same, except that cinema snacks are normal price -- not jacked up. Very refreshing. Also, your seats are reserved. Finally, you can go to a special "gold standard" door and sit in a private room to watch your movie. It costs a lot, but if you want privacy....very plush.
When we went out, the Korean women's soccer team was playing Bejing in a summer series. Rough soccer, and fun to watch.
When we rode the subway back, we got off the main street to hunt for dinner. As usual, we found a whole different world behind the main street. In this area of Honkik University, it was a college/young professional town. had some great roasted chicken at a "Hof", a place you go for chicken and beer. 19 bucks. And remember, no tipping allowed.
A note about the weather. it has been no hotter than 80 degrees since we have been here; almost always overcast and dingy, but cool. They warned us to be prepared for rain all the time, but it has been very nice.
Tomorrow, Incheon for FC Seoul versus Incheon in the K-League. We'll let you know. Klay is hoping for fires in the stands like he has seen on TV. Me, I am hoping for kimbab rolls for stadium food...
