Our apartment is about a 20 minute walk from the stadium where the Gwangju FC team plays soccer. The stadium is huge (seats about 44K) and was built to host some of the 2002 World Cup games. The team is new and just joined the league this past spring. We attended two games, and they won both. Some of you might be surprised that I am writing about soccer. You are right, I don't care; but Adam does. A huge pro to the stadium is that it is a byob (now that's what I'm talking about).
The world is truly a small place. While we were at a game, we started talking to another foreigner who happened to also be from Philadelphia. What are the odds! Adam was wearing his Phillies hat, and we began to reminisce about when they won the world series. Sigh, what a great moment in life! (a special hello to Dana and Sarita, whom I was with when they won :)
Below are some pictures from the games we attended. Enjoy.
