Today I woke up early, not intentially, but it was still fortunate as I was able to watch the 2nd, 3rd and OT periods of the Canada US olympic gold medal match. The game started at 5:15 am and I was in front of the TV at about 5:40 and caught the last minute or so of the first period.
It was a good game and I was very surprised by the US teams tying up the game with 24 seconds to go in the third period. The OT period was really great and it was fantastic to see Canada win the game. I don’t normally get excited about sports, but must say i was really happy to watch the game and about an hour later am still pumped.
Today is a holiday in Korea, but my wife for some unknown reason has to go to the office for a few hours. I’ll be watching the kids and preparing for spring semester which starts tomorrow.
Last week on Sunday we went to the Hilton Hotel Seoul to see the Christmas train that they have set up every year. It’s really large and quite impressive. My son, just shy of 4, really loved it a lot.
Last night I took the family out to see Christmas lights. In Korea this is a little different than in Canada as there are very few individual homes and no one decorates the outside of their house. Instead, here, businesses and the city, will put on light displays. We went to the city center and took a lot of pictures.
I also shot some video on my new HD camcorder (Canon Vixia HG20) which once it’s been edited I’ll upload and share here. I’m planning on adding a video blog section to show different areas around the city. That’ll be a little delayed due to being very busy with end of the semester work and client work at the moment.
updating to include a video now (full size HD version here.)
Today after Church I went for a walk to the bookstore, while my wife drove the kids home. On my way I crossed over Cheonggye Plaza and stumbed across the Lantern Festival. Fortunately I had my camera with me cause these lanterns are really something else. I’m going to have to go back at night to get some night shots – not sure how they’ll turn out with my point and shoot but I’ll try.
