SOUTH KOREA SOCCER, 2007 PEACE CUP KOREA
Yesterday we went to the 2007 Peace Cup, a soccer tournament in South Korea. The two teams were from professional leagues in Spain and England. The stadium is the former 2002 FIFA World Cup stadium located in Ilsan, near Daewha subway station, exit #3. Mi and I attended with many other foreign teachers and tickets were 24,000 KRW each. Scalpers were also selling tickets for 10,000 Korean Won a piece, outside the stadium. The match lasted 90 minutes, which is a standard length game. Jeremiah had the best time of all when he found "the danger zone" with his Soju-Gatorade Big Gulp! The last subway left Daewha Station at 10:30pm, we were just in time, and the trip back home lasted 2 hours. Last weekend's trip to the Boryeong Mud Festival cost almost the same price, I would have loved to have done that again, but the holiday provided the R&R I needed to keep pace back at school. Our intensive sessions will start on the 24th of July. Longer teaching hours and the same money...hmmm. Well, it's good keeping busy during the off moments in Korea. ^_____^ Take Care!

About the Korean-World Author
Brian has completed his second mountain bike journey, MongoliaX expedition - Crossing Mongolia 2012, an unsupported mountain bike MTB expedition across 2500km of Outer Mongolia from Ulanbaatar to Altai Taven-Bogd National Park bordering China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 2013, as a sequel to a trilogy of cycle tours, Brian enjoyed a more leisure bicycle tour onboard his Koga-Miyata World Traveller seeing the northern tier of the United States and western Canada covering 3400 kilometers / 2000 miles in 30 days. This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.
Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
