cerealjoe | The World Cup is right around the corner! (Reply)

Ah. 2 days and about 8 hours till the World Cup starts... and for once I'm not really all that excited. Football is still one of those sports I enjoy but this year there is really only France for me to cheer for. I would even say that the selection matches were much more exciting for me than what's coming up.

In any case, I'll be mainly for France. Then if ever South Korea has a match while I'm there... I might cheer for them! Heck, if I find one I'll even get a Korean flag to add to my collection.

So France is playing on the 11th, 17th and 22nd. They're in Group A.

In Group B... South Korea is playing on the 12th, 17th and 22nd so at least I'll be able to catch that last match in situ (who cares if that's correctly used!) and that should be fun.

For all the other groups I really don't have any favourites I would like to see pass that round. It's pathetic.

That's the end of football talk for now. Till the 11th when we get our asrses beaten by Uruguay.

Speaking of holiday, I'm slightly starting to panic because I'm just so used to pre-booking everything and apparently in Korea it is common practice to just show up somewhere and find a hostel/hotel on the spot. It's going to be interesting, we'll see!

I can't wait to just kick back for a few days... and then I'll consider doing some work back in Seoul. What is wrong with me? I'm turning into my father. I really am. I already know that I'll be taking some work related stuff with me in case inspiration comes.

In other news, have I ever mentioned how much I love poppies? They remind of my childhood in the countryside. Everything is better in a green field with red poppies. Everything! Even Lake Geneva is better with poppies, it's pretty awesome by itself too.
