Soccer Sunday

I had a nice relaxing morning. I slept in til around 9 maybe. I did some homework and just relaxed. I cooked some mandu and chatted with friends. Then, it was off to find yet another new soccer field. This one was located on top of Yongsan Market which is on top of Yongsan Station. The "market" is huge-it is mostly known as the electronics market-there are every kind of electronics available to purchase, ranging from cameras to air conditioner units to toasters to electronic dictionaries. There is also a chain department store there-but it has about 7 different 'zones' and half of them have the same movie theater chain in them. So, I had quite the task finding the right 'zone' to find the soccer field. I went up to the top of about 2 different sections before I found it.

Today we had about 10 people show up. At one point, there was a black man (not sure if he was African, or where exactly from) watching and Stefano invited him to join us. I got hit in the face with the ball-I thought my lips would be swollen, but by the time we were done playing, they felt back to normal. Jes also got hit in the face; he was more unfortunate than me and got a bloody nose. I also managed to score a goal this week too! :)

After soccer, I walked from Yongsan to Sogang for church. It took a little over an hour to get there, but it was pretty easy to get there. Church was good--I am really going to miss the priest when I leave.

  1. 1.We like the relaxing atmosphere in the 1st 4 sentences, and the sense of challenge in the following sentence. 2. That's quite a description of the huge electronics market. 3.That's a good expression: "quite the task." 3. We send our sympathy on the soccer face-hit and our joy that the injury was less-bad than you expected. Congratulations on scoring a goal. 5. Good for you: more than "an hour walk to the church was easy" and "Church was good." R. & M.
