hello folks!
well this weekend was an interesting mix of different events that i really enjoyed! the main event being : RUGBY!!!!! oh yes! Seoul has a women's rugby team that plays real games and really practices! oh how i love international cities! so my body and spirit is in need of some of some competitiveness as well as some good old fashioned exercise.
so the team is made up of mainly australians, canadians, kiwis, brits and some american girls. the coaches are i think aussies. not quite sure at this point. but very cool set of people. and there is also a korean team but they didn't come out. i have never played rugby before and my only experience with it is a game i went to in australia. and i didnt do any research before i went either. hehehe. so easy enough to follow the drills which are just like soccer except you hold the ball and throw it.
the fun part came when we split up into forwards and backs. well appearantly the backs need to be fast and forwards are for the slower players. so of course i went there. so i ended up spending the rest of the practice hoisting a girl up into the air so she could catch the ball and begin the play. pretty much just like the picture, except that we didn't look as goofy. or so i think.
but the point of this, is i felt so alive! the weather was fantastic, it felt so good to run around and play. i feel like i found a piece of my life that has been missing! so i think this is something that i will keep in my schedule...but that will include running during the week and some kind of workout because i am soooo sore right now. and some other girl broke her collarbone a few weeks ago, so i have to protect myself.
then i signed up to take a korean language class which should be a great combination with my korean language partners. this class is 1 on 1 but the teacher is certified to teach korean and has textbook. so this i think will be a good start for me! :)
saturday night i spent hanging out with my korean friends in gangnam and just enjoying being in a big noisy group of people. so i think it was a good day.
this week is only 4 days as friday is a national holiday. this week has big promises...but i will reveal those later!
until next time!
