Soccer and barbecue

Tonight there was the exciting soccer match between North and South Korea. Exciting because of the fact that North Korea had refused to play on South Korean ground only a week ago and suggested neutral territory only a week ago. But now the match was being held here.

[Exciting not in the sense of a good soccer match, rather boring… And why would they always scream out loud “Toooor” (German (?) for “goal”) whenever the ball gets somehow close to the goal? We would only do that for a score ;o)]

Some people watched the game on the streets – we did in a restaurant with huge screen. I would have loved to go to the World-Cup-stadium where some spectators were holding up the all-Korean flag, a huge one!

In the restaurant weh ad some barbecue – on a metal plate in the middle of the table. I knew this Korean-style barbecue from China but to wrap the meat into lettuce leaves, with sauce, pickled vegetables and some rice was a new experience to me.
