Work went okay. I was feeling extra tired from soccer yesterday. I slept til my alarm woke me, which was a first with my new phone (about 2 weeks now).
After work, I headed south of the river. One of my Inje friends started an NGO; the goal is to teach and share Korean culture with others. He started out doing a project trying to get "East Sea" added to world maps in 2012. He and 4 other of my good Inje friends traveled across the US and Europe then getting signatures and informing people. Anyway, I went to support him at their first "Thank You Concert". The concert displayed a few traditional and newer cultural pieces for Korea; there was drumming, dancing, instrument playing, taekwondo and singing. My friend, Seok Hyun, came to the lobby to tell people the concert was a little delayed and apologizing to people waiting. When he saw me, he did a double take and got a big smile and came to give me a hug. He said he was surprised I came.
I should say before the concert, I got kimbap for dinner and enjoyed walking around the area. The concert was at a university, so it was nice to see another college area. It took me almost an hour to get there and an hour home.
