Korea vs. Switzerland











I seem to have become something of a soccer fan recently. Last night Jon Isaac, the Sage and myself, along with about 2 million of our closest friends went to Seoul city hall to watch a soccer game being broadcast from Germany. The match was at 4 in the morning so almost everyone was well imbibed by then. It was an utterly indescribable experience, the soccer mania here knows no bounds. I have never felt such a sense of comunal energy in my life. The long journey home at 8 a.m. was equally moving, the dejection was enormous (Switzerland won). I was fortunate in that I chose to wear a South Korean flag as a cape, or I might well have had my blonde, Swiss-resembling ass kicked.
