flames vs. the oilers

this t-shirt was one of many amusing artifacts decorating the canadian pub we stumbled upon this weekend in seoul.

trent and i bussed into the city to get our chinese visas (for our trip in february). we then bought pitas, spent the night at the 'jimjilbang' where we bathed in public baths then watched too many episodes of 'my name is earl' (a must-see if you haven't)...

sunday morning, as dutiful christians, we made our way to the local church... woops, i mean Tavern :), to watch the Flames play the Oilers. yup, we uncovered a piece of canada in seoul -- the Rocky Mountain Tavern -- which not only plays great tunes nor serves succulent wings, but plays hockey games on the big-screen. anyway, trent was thrilled because the flames burned the oilers' bums. :) it was a sweet weekend.


as two side-notes: below you'll see a man covered in cucumbers; he was selling vegetable slicers in the subway, and decided to demonstrate just how thin the cucumbers can be sliced :) as well, emily found some amazing glasses for $40 in total. ya gotta love this country!

Glad to know that Trent loves hockey. We do as well. We heard that the Penguins might be moving to Kansas City. We hope so. We would snatch season tickets in a heartbeat.

It looks like so much fun where you are at. You are so lucky to be able to do this. How and when did you decide to do this? Just curious.

Hey you guys!!! I'm so glad you blogged, I was missing reading your stuff and I was like "what are they up toooo....."
A Canadian pub is amazing!! What a cool treat -- you don't realize what a great thing it is to be Canadian till you leave the country! Ha! Here people sort of think it's cool, those who know Candians already think it's great, and those who don't think your nice but weird (just my opinion)
I miss hockey!!! Football is huge here, so that's all that's on T.V.
Em, -- totally DIG the glasses! You have such great taste =)
Keep having fun! Oh, and by the way...the Oilers will still kick many a flaming butt... just keepin' it real =)
Take Care guys!
Love, A.
