Christina in Seoul



OK, I went to see Christina Aguilera in Seoul on Saturday night. It was ok. The Pussy Cat Dolls were supposed to be there. No show, instead they put on the top Korean pop star and I think they told her that morning she was singing. She is a good singer but still pop music. CA looked like she was told two days ago, but hey, she is 3 months pregnant. She is a good singer but it is still pop music. Fit for drones, but what can I say, she has 90 000 won that I don't.

On the bright side I can say I walked the same path of thousands of athletes who performed and played at Olympic Park way back in 1988, which i learned the 1988 Olymics was the first time South Korea allowed foreigners into the country. It explains a lot of reactions from Koreans to foreigners. Imagine if the Natives in North Amercian did the same. But then again the Japanese had something to do with it as well.

Long story short, I got a black eye from a soccer ball, not Heeuon.
My hockey team, the Lucky Pucks, won the RMT Chiefs spring tourny.
on ice pic and off ice pic.
We had a bbq at a HOUSE in Korea, thats right a HOUSE with a YARD. This place costs about 12 000 cdn a month. I also just learned that this country is one of the most expensive places to live in the world, with only Japan being more expensive.
anywho, real grass, a real garden, I was in heaven for 8 hours, and it felt like home.
Well some of you may know, Emiel broke his jaw. he is ok now, well out of the hospital ok. I am sure most of you are reading his blog as well. He had surgery it went well except he almost went blind. He has had a rough go of health. He has to start getting hurt at home as Matt Wilson told him, its cheaper and easier to get fixed in Canada. All is getting better. we are both excited to be coming home, he sooner than I.
