On to Part 2--the day we went to the stadium!
Outside our motel the next morning. Here you can see more pictures of what the inside of "Romeo Motel" looks like.
The entrance, the morning after.
At the stadium!
My first time at a stadium in Korea.
Let the excitement begin!
Our seats were at Gate 11.
An attempt at a 180 degree panoramic view of the stadium.
The staff setting up the hurdles.
JinSeong, Jennifer, Michelle, and I.
They had just arrived that morning.
A Brazilian runner got first place, I believe.
Now, they're picking up the hurdles.
I'm excited to watch all the things that go on behind-the-scenes.
Don't remember which race this was, but the gun just went off.
I was excited to be there.
My first time at a world sports event--and in Korea . . . c'mon!
Look at runner #8.
Can you see runner #8 there?
It's Mr. Blade Runner himself, Oscar Pistorius!
I can't believe I actually saw him live.
Kind stranger behind me took this picture. Thank you!
Yes, we were seated at the finish line.
Can you say, "best seats"?
Well, these races have given me a chance to practice capturing motion pictures--as in trying to capture them at the right moment.
We're about to leave.
Outside the stadium.
Walking back to the (free) shuttle bus back to DongDaegu Station.
Flower pillars at DongDaegu Station.
Daegu's subway system. 1 more line than Daejeon and still very simple.
Wow, I know I'm in a country that values education when I see a vending machine selling books.
Yeap, kinda empty.
Downtown promenade. Similar to Myeongdong in Seoul.
Whoa, I've never seen that before.
I wanna ride it; now I need to get like 12 more friends to join me.
On the Saemaul train back to Cheonan.
This was a truly exciting day. You needed to have been there.
Wonder when I can go again.
Wonder where I'll go next . . .
