Weekend trip

It has been a little while since I have written. A little over a month to be exact. So I will do a quick catch up on what I was doing.
I went scuba diving with a couple of friends. The current was rather strong at the surface and we lost a couple of Koreans. They got washed around the little island that we were diving at. 2 were able to go around the island and make landfall another wasn't so lucky. The police boat had to go out to sea and pick him up. He was looking a little shaken up when he was on land. We had a couple of Koreans with our group. Well not diving with us, but with the dive shop that we went through. They had some fancy equipment. One had a rather expensive underwater camera. They decided to surface on the east side of the island, where the waves were crashing rather hard. Not the best place to get out of the water. They got a bit scratched up and broke their camera. Koreans like the best equipment. When they get into things, they buy the best. The thing is, they aren't good at it. Most of the Korean divers I have seen are down right scary. They don't have the skills needed to be good at it. Getting swept out to sea and poor choices on surfacing locals sort of point that out. The group I was with, all westerners, had no issues. I used up my O2 a bit quicker than the rest of the group, but was able to make it last longer than previous dives.
Halloween was also fun. There were a fair amount of costumes out. I went for the cheap and easy costume. I cut up one of my shirts and a pair of shorts. I found a santa beard in my apartment and turned it into a mullet. So I went as gay white trash. Not the best costume, but a crowd please er.
Last weekend a group of 7 of us went to Gwangju to attend the last Jeju United game of the season. We arrived on Saturday, around noon and decided to go for a walk about. It was a really pretty area. We saw some of their memorials to the students that started the uprising against the Japanese in the 30's. Walked along a nice river, that they created paths on. When most of the people went back to the hotel, Bree and myself decided to head up a hill and check out what we were thinking was a park. It was, it was a really nice park as the leaves were turning, so we chilled there for a bit and waited for our friend to arrive. Stu overslept and didn't make the plane with us, but was able to catch a latter flight. From there we walked around the town a little bit before heading off to Starbucks for some coffee before dinner at Outback. Outback was a bit of a disappointment. Then it was off to some bars. We went to an open mik night, that sucked, then off to Mike and someones speak easy. That was fun. I got a free t-shirt and they had a couple of Korean punk bands playing. We stayed there for a little while, before heading off to a club. The club had a $10 cover charge, but free tap beer. So it was well worth it. Danced into the wee hours of the morning before heading back to the hotel to get some sleep before the bus ride to another city to catch the match.
Before the match, we went shopping for some face paints and got all kitted up for the upcoming match. We doned our t-shirts that we had made for the match and painted our faces. We were walking down the streets giving our Jeju chants, getting looks from all the Koreans. We arrived at the stadium to find that we were the only Jeju supporters. Well there was one other fella that showed up a bit later, but we were louder and had better chants than the other team. At half time Stu and I left the stadium for a minute to stock up on some supplies and on the way back we stood infront of the home teams goal and had a chant off with the opposing fans. They were getting angry and swearing at us and flicking us off. We continued our chanting across the stands to our own goal. It was quite a good time. We ended up tieing with a score of 0-0. I have since lost my voice because of screaming at the game and it is Friday and it is not 100% back.
That is all that is new with me. Hope you enjoyed reading this.
