Soccer in Korea.

I'm part of a social soccer group in Seoul. The team is called the Korean Pacific Women's Strikers. Nice bunch of gals and it's great to have a kick around with them. Mari the main organiser arranged a game for the team versus some Korean ladies. The event was funded by the US Army who Mari works for- hence the big banner. We were given towels printed with the game date on from the Korean ladies too which was pretty sweet.

The main feature - aside from the football was the BBQ lunch after. Huge bits of chicken smothered in BBQ sauce and heaps of potato salad. Clare was allowed on base to watch the game and have lunch which was pretty nice.

The Strikers acutally ended up playing 3 halves (?) because there were two Korean teams that turned up. I was quite knackered. Still Clare and I wandered the base a little and it took us about an hour to find a subway station at the other side of Yonsang base!

It's a pity that it takes so long to travel to play in Seoul otherwise I would go every weekend and become super fit. They are quite good at getting you running around the place!
