World Cup - Korea beats Togo!


The entire country has a really intense case of World Cup fever. Four years back, Korea and Japan hosted the World Cup. The memory of those times is still fresh in people's minds. Everyone came dressed in the official "Red Devils" t-shirts, arm bands, and glowing horns. It was a sea of red. Projector screens were setup all over the city and thousands of people crowded the streets and centers to watch the big game. Korea got off to a slow start but made a comeback and won the game. After the game everyone went crazy. The streets were filled with people cheering, holding up traffic, jumping on busses. It was a mob of celebration. Some people were even jumping on a police car. Everyone wanted to get pictures of us since we are foreigners. We cheered them on and had a great time. Check out the slide show.
