Check out the music video for Victory Korea here (this version not featuring Kim Yu-Na):
Saturday arrived quickly and unfortunately mother nature decided to rain on our parade here in Korea, literally. There were many huge outdoor screens all around the country and four in Seoul where the first game was to be broadcast with huge crowds of people, but many like me decided to stay indoors and dry instead of braving the wet to cheer on team Korea. [Side note: I am and always will be a true American fan and root for my team to the end, but I have become part of the mass of red-screaming-devil-horn-wearing people for the time being. Proud of my American team for their first non-loss as well!] We chose a bar in Gangnam to watch the game that night and lucked out getting the last table available. Every time Korea scored a goal, the crowd in the bar went nuts. The energy in the room was pulsating and the crowds in the streets after the first victory were unbelievable. Korean fans and expats alike were shooting off fireworks, shouting at the top of their lungs, and generally acting ridiculous. Needless to say it was quite a sight and a World Cup experience that will remain unmatched. I am pumped for game two!
