Now I'm Sweating
1:30 PM. On break from rehearsal. Sweating my head off.(Isn't it fun to imagine what I would really be saying if this wasn't such a public forum.) It's the first really hot day here in Seoul, and the humidity is like a blanket. I've got a long lunch break, as I'm not needed until 3PM. I've had it kind of easy, considering the girls have been busting their butts and I've had a few half days this week. Then again, they are the real stars of the show.
I'm in yet another "PC" down the street from the "Seoul Center for the Arts", where we are rehearsing until we tech in Taejon or Daegu(I forget which one is first). After a week of shows there, we come back to Seoul for 3 weeks and then onto the other of the two cities I just mentioned. From there, we travel to the southern port of Pusan, the only city in Korea not felled by North Korea at the beginning of the Korean War. Then onto Japan for the rest of the tour.
Which reminds me, in general, the Korean people are, with good reason, not very friendly with the people of Japan.(Much hardship and attempted dominance over a long period of time.) This has made a very nationalistic people, evident by roads full of Hyundais, while not a Toyota or Honda is to be seen.
I spent a part of last night watching an international soccer match between South Korea and another team whose uniforms I did not recognize. The game was being shown on a big screen TV visible from the Plaza outside the hotel. It was the most fun I've ever had watching soccer. I know it can be a boring game, but it was like watching a Bruins game at the Fleet Center. S. Korea won 2-0, and was clearly the superior team.
I'll be signing off now, but, keep in touch and I'm sure there are some more adventures to come! An-nyong-ee keseyo!
