Olympic Games

In honor of the Olympic Games i thought i should talk about the Olympic Games and what better way for that then for me to go to the Korean Olympic Stadium.
Korean love sports as it is apparent in their clothing. Almost everyone (young people) have on MLB baseball caps, which i have a suspision are fake unless they're only licenced here in Korea.

Their favorite athelete is Park Tae Whan (박태환). I think it's funny how they have other Atheletes winning gold medals like the Archery teams both men and women. Even when Choi Min Ho won Korea's first gold medal in this Olympic games they didn't make as big a deal about it as Park's. The other funny thing is they kept talking about how hard he's training to beat Michael Phelps. The funny thing also is when they swam against eachother in the prelims Park came in first but didn't break Phelps' record. Also when he won the 200 meter freestyle he didn't break Phelpls' record either. When i made a comment to a friend how i think Michael Phelps is faster becasue he still holds the world record she said she didn't care because Park won. Anyway i think they're making way too much of a big deal for him.

Choi Min Ho (최민호), congratulations dude.
