I'm in Korea!!! It's pretty awesome here, except for a certain person that's not here
But here are some pics from my first night there.

This is the local stadium where people went to watch ( I think it was a baseball stadium). So you have to get a ticket to get in the stadium, but the tickets are completely free...they're basically more like advertisements for local companies. But this dude was selling them for money in the train station, because he figured people coming from other towns wouldn't really know it was free. But one other guy bought a ticket, went to the stadium and saw that they were giving them out for free, and actually came back into the subway to beat the crap out of the guy selling them. It was pretty sweet.

This is the crazy cab driver who took us to City Hall at 120 km/hr (not really sure how fast that was, but he was running red lights left and right and driving on the wrong side of the road and stuff so it was pretty crazy)

Shot of City Hall, where 660,000 people came to watch on the big screen at 4 AM, even during finals week for colleges.

Another shot of City Hall.

Tommy chugging out of the 5 Liter keg that we bought, after finishing off a pitcher of soju...needless to say my head is about to explode right now

The city after the game let out.

The guys. From left to right, me, jae, jiwoo, tommy.

So a bunch of us on the volleyball team went to Penn State to watch the Men's Division 1 Finals...here are some key excerpts:

This is the house where we stayed at, Sigma Chi at Penn State. Please note the composite lying on top of a pile of puke.

Yes, those are bagels in the toilet.

So we randomly played some beach volleyball at another house, Phi Delts...the frat houses here were like castles, so nice.
