Here's something new to love about Korea

The Doosan Bears

A little explanation:
The baseball teams here aren't named after cities. Instead they are named after a few massive family corporations that manufacture (and probably run) everything here: LG, Lotte, Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, etc. Our local stadium is at the Jamsil Sports Complex, and is the home field for the two Seoul Based teams - the LG Twins and the Doosan Bears. LG made our washing machine, which has been the nightmare that lives on our porch. Doosan, on the other hand, makes Majuang Riesling, a good wine that you can get for $7 at any grocery store. So, our choice was clear. Last night we went to our first game, sat under the smog obscured stars and watched Doosan embarrass LG 12-1. Nice.

At the DMZ

This is a ROK soldier, who is at this moment straddling the border of North and South Korea at the DMZ. Bethany is smiling because she doesn't know that he could kill her without moving. These guys are so tough that they have to be tae kwon do masters to even be considered for this job, and they have to wear sunglasses all the time so they don't accidentally kill someone with their eyes.
