5 days sure flew by fast! Chinese New Year has come and gone once again. The first day was great! I took a walk to the park while it was nice and sunny and it almost seemed like spring. Gareth, a friend of ours from Ulsan, who is originally from Manchester, came up to Seoul to meet up with Paul and I. He's a Man City supporter by the way. We were going to watch the International friendlies with England and the Swiss and the Holland vs Croatia games but they were on way too late. England ended up winning and Holland tore apart Croatia anyways so both positive victories.
I'm just watching the Manchester Derby now and before the game they had a 2 minute silence to honour the Manchester United players that died in the 1958 Munich disaster. Lots of people were worried that during the silence some hooligans would start chanting or ruin the memorial by doing something stupid. Manchester City just scored, 1-0. Darious Vassell!
Fortunately, nothing happened and it was a successful 2 minutes of silence. UNfortunately, the commentators on TV did NOT understand the meaning of SILENCE and just talked continuously either not understanding the meaning of a minute of silence or just not giving a shit. Pretty sad really considering they are supposed to be professional sportscasters.
On Thursday it was a nice day as well and as Paul and I were taking the bus back to Bundang, I had a few minutes to get a few pictures of the War Memorial in Seoul.
