10) Sunshine

Today was the first day I can recall seeing the sun. It was a beautiful day today. Dan and I went out to play some b-ball at a little court just down the road. I checked it out before, and new that it was a gravel court, but I thought we would just shoot around and enjoy the day. While we were shooting around I noticed some guys on a bench watching us play, they were in dress pants, nice shirts, and dress shoes. One came over and asked if we wanted to play- “two, two” is how he put it. Dan didn’t want to, so he just kinda shot around with us. Then eventually the other guy came over and started shooting around, then that led to a game up to ten. The better of the two Koreans was with Dan, and it was me and the other guy (I forgot their names). So we played and had fun (my team won, by the way) and then afterwards they asked if we wanted some beers with them. They had brought 20 beers with them to the park. We eventually found out that they had 9 each before they played (and beer here has a higher alcohol percentage than in the states), so we thought that was funny, and they functioned just fine (although they were not too good at b-ball). We talked for a while, which can be fairly hard when we cant speak Korean, and they only speak some English. But it was interesting, and often times funny. One guy was 38, and the other 30, which was so hard to believe. At the most they looked to be 25, and were in pretty good shape by the looks of it. And when we sat down they both pulled out cigarettes and started smoking. That seems to be pretty normal here though, most people at least look to be in very good shape and healthy and young, but are usually much older than I would have thought, and do a lot of drinking. They asked if we wanted to get food with them, but we had plans to go do Bundang and meet a friend there, and catch a movie. It is pretty fun just meeting people, and seeing what happens.
This shot was taken in Bundang tonight.
