Emily said she needed a partner in crime to go and watch these volleyball games with her. She told me she was obsessed, but I didn't believe her. That was until after the game she was one of the crazy school girls running after the players when they came out to their bus, trying to get their autograph!That is exactly how crazy the games are. They have their own stadium just for the volleyball team. It has 3 levels and it is packed! It is like going to an Ottawa Senators game, crazy fans, music blaring, cheering but even better Korean cheerleaders! They do dances to all the latest K-Pop music and get the crowd going, there is even an MC who wears a shiny white suit and pumps up the crowd!
I do love volleyball, but you definitely don't have to, to go to a game, the crowd is what makes it so much fun! The players are intense though. My competitive side definitely comes out while watching the game, calling ins and outs and disagreeing with the ref. Even when it is Korean, a sport is a sport, it has it's own universal language! Each team is allowed one foreigner. We still have not figured out where he is from exactly, but either Alaska, or North West Territories we have been told!
The power in the front! Great teamwork!!
