Korea vs. Norway

Today, we stayed awake until four am with Won Chol watching the soccer match between South Korea and Norway. Sadly, the final score was a boring 0-0, and Norway dominated most of the game. Nonetheless, the Korean team had three good chances of scoring.

Also, HITE (Korean beer) was there to provide some sort of excitement to the game, and of course, we had to show our RED DEVIL spirit wearing some Korean Team Wardrobe!

Samsung...

Yesterday was a day full of culturally filled events, however, I took most of the pictures with my digital, Samsung camcorder, and I am unable to upload the pictures into my computer; I am working on it, though...

The pictures that I have been able to upload thus far are from the first of four stops of Daegu's Number #2 City Tour route. This stop was to the Twelve Distinguished Hyeonpung Gwaks' Shrine, a small shrine protecting twelve certified steles of honor (or Jeongryeo) dedicated to the Gwak Clan. A Jeongryeo was a poilicy of he Joseon Dynasty to honor such good deeds as loyalty, filialr respect and the like. The fact that one family alone could've gathered twelve of these steles is a fact that made the King Yeongjo's reign built the aforementioned shrine in their honor.
