Random bits of Seoul and the South Korea vs. UAE World Cup Qualifying Game

I've had an extremely busy past few weeks. Work has been a little hectic/rough but the week is thankfully over so hopefully next week will be better. Having 650 students can be BRUTAL at times...

Last weekend it was a bunch of my friends birthdays. So we did a big birthday celebration last Friday which was a lot of fun. Tonight I'm going to another birthday party too but with some new friends so I'm def excited for that.

Last week I had a very awkward/scary experience in Olympic Park so if you are interested ask me about it...I just learned that even though Seoul is safe I have to be a little more careful. But the story is extremely humorous.

Wednesday night I went to the South Korea vs. United Arab Emirates World Cup Qualifier at World Cup Stadium. It was seriously soooooo fun!! Soccer should really be bigger in the states cause I had the most fun I've ever had at a live sporting event....absolutely crazy and fun. I fell in love with #11 for South Korea so I must Google image him at work one of these days...I think it will be good to have a Korean celeb crush...expanding my horizons haha Anyways, Korea won 4-1 so that was nice. I feel like I usually cheer for teams that lose so this was a good turn around...

Nothing else exciting to tell you about. So I hope you all have a good weekend!!!

Oh I will be taking the GRE in the states on Feb 21 so hopefully I will get to see you all then!!! Please let me know what your plans are around then!!!

Amazing Korean street food: The red noodles are rice noodles in spicy chili pepper sauce...soo good!! The long fried stuff on the left is fried squid. The fried balls at the bottom right are hard boiled eggs fried. And when you order street food they give you fish broth to drink. I've had a sip or two...definitely not my thing!!!!
After midterm week my school took a field trip to Everland (Korea's version of Six Flags). These are some of the teachers at my school. The principal is the man next to me and the women in the front row are a few of the English teachers.

The streets of Seoul ...
"Destroy the flag important your attitude"???? Korean shirts always have awkward English phrases that don't make sense

Maureen your video of the World Cup soccer qualifier was great. I loved hearing Koreans sing a Korean song to the music of Bach(Ode to Joy). Keep exploring! xo
