No one can do it like Gus

Korea has been really fun lately. We've been cruising around and getting stuffed on food and beer. Guess its all part of the training for Germany.

With Australia's first world Cup match upon us, we were invited to have dinner with my Uncle prior to the game. We went to Japanese restaraunt and enjoyed the most lavish platter of raw seafood I have ever seen. There were (no kidding) 5 massive courses of seafood, everything from salads, tempura, sashimi, sushi, even some delicacies like fish eye shots, 4 differnt cuts of tuna, raw shellfish, which I had never seen before.

To catch the game we went to Buck Mulligans, an Irish pub in Down town, under the Seoul Finance Centre. The atmosphere was pretty cool, with most of the Folks supporting Australia because of the ties with Gus Hiddink and the at times obsessive Japanese rivalry. We ordered our pitcher of Hite beer and our dried snacks (dried fish and jerky served with mayonase and chili sauce, which was kinda gross) and settled inin eager anticipation .

We were feeling pretty pleased with the way things were progressing in the game until that "goal". As the game drew on we felt gutted and totally cheated, almost to the point of telling the lone Japanese table to shut up. Thankfully with ledgend Gus' introduction of Timmy Cahil it all turned around and our sorrow turned to joy, I think we screamed our lungs out and scared half the people around us. As the goals went flying in, we continued to celebrate and to our disappointment, the Japanese table had left before the end...

What an exciting finish, eh' mike?
