FUTURISTIC GROOVES

Sorry for not posting any new entries lately but just to notify you I am still alive and rocking! As you can imagine life is in full swing now since school has started. This means I am twice as busy as before since I also have to keep pace with the usual parties and other social activities. This weekend it’s Yeon-Go-jeon! What’s that?

“Each pair of private universities shares a long tradition of sport rivalries. In Japan’s case, the bi-annual baseball games between Keio and Waseda and the intercollegiate events in rowing and rugby. In South Korea’s case, every year, the five sports of baseball, basketball, ice hockey, rugby, and soccer, are played by the two bitter cross-town rivals.

So intense and nationally renowned is the rivalry between the South Korean top schools that the supporters of Korea University identify the games as the Annual Yonsei-korea Games. Though both exclusive private universities are serious about their rivalries, they acknowledge their mutual interests as leading universities in their respective nations and in the greater community of East Asia. Both universities have therefore made efforts to cooperate and strengthen the bonds between the schools.” Source: Wikipedia

Going off now! Tomorrow there is another big day, day 2 of Yeon-Go-jeon! Which means the massive final party at the streets in Sincheon! I promise to write a more elaborated update on all the formalities here in Korea next week. Also sorry for not replying your e-mail, I will do that ASAP promise! BTW. In order to participate in all the festivities this weekend, we had Cheer Training last week to practice the Yonsei songs and dancing moves.
