The most patriotic country in the WORLD!

Seriously- I think Korea's gotta be it. For those of you who don't know, the World Cup started this past weekend. For weeks now, posters and products in support of the Korean soccer team have been everywhere here. Then came the t-shirts. Every clothing store has its own version of a red "Go Korea" shirt. And now EVERYONE is wearing them!! It's pretty much accepted uniform no matter what your job is. All the cashiers at the grocery store are wearing red shirts and bandanas, as are all the toll booth workers, and plenty of other people, too. Tonight was Koreas first game- against Togo. Our tv is currently out of commission, so we weren't watching. But we knew everytime Korea scored by the shouts we could hear outside! So pretty soon Abra had her computer out so that we could read the play-by-play. It was so funny, because we could tell by the noises outside what had happened before it was posted :). And, Korea won. So now, at 12:30 am, rather than relatively quiet streets, I get to listen to cars honking their horns in time with the "Dae-han-min-guk" cheer, and people yelling it on occasion. I'm excited for Korea, but if they keep up this honking at late hours, I'm going to start hoping they lose! ;)
