finding 'seoul-ace' :)

today we stumbled upon the 12-million peopled capital called Seoul, a beautiful, busting metropolis filled with items from home we've been missing. trenton scored some of korea's few root beers from a hole in the wall otherwise known as the black market. he also bought Iginla's jersey for a mere 25,0000 won ($25) just in time for the start of the NHL season. we purchased a humorous t-shirt remarking on korea's major alcoholic influence (the green bottle in emily's hand -- Soju), some 'copies' of new movies like Click, the Break-Up and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (copied films are sold at every corner)... we also found a 6-pound bag of pretzels (a must have :)), some used english novels, korean clothing, and a huge international food market. we buzzed around with the other millions of ants in a major subway system, taxis and busses. this past week God answered trent's prayers by providing him with free equipment to play 'roller hockey' with other korean guys every tuesday and thursday evening. he also played some ping pong and was introduced to the korean martial art of 'kumdoo' (which you can see our friend Dan playing below). it's been a good week.
