Incheon United Home Opener!!

Saturday I slept in before heading to Nicole's to pick up her suitcases and some bags, so I can use them to for packing. My school found me a new apartment in the area I requested and I had until the 11th to get packed up because I would be moving into the new place on the 12th. I decided to stay and hang out with Nicole for a few hours before I headed home to do more packing. I was suppose to head into Seoul to meet up with Rudy and some friends for dinner, but I was exhausted and had loads more packing to do, so I just chilled at home, packed and fell asleep to Harry Potter.
Sunday I had a Skype date with my mom, so we talked for a bit before I had to meet Nicole, because we were heading to the Incheon United home opener soccer game together. We headed to the game early, so we could buy season passes, check out the new merchandise and tailgate/pre-drink. We hung out in the park outside the stadium where we enjoyed tuna gimbop and beer.
Nicole let me borrow her extra jersey and scarf for the game. Nicole and Duncan anxiously awaiting the start of the first game of the 2009 season. Lisa actually came out to a Incheon United soccer game, which was very exciting!
Here is a video of all the toilet paper being thrown onto the field at the start of the game by all of the fans.
There were the most amount of fans I've ever seen at an Incheon United game there on Sunday. It was nice to see them come out and support their team and hopefully, just as many will come out for the remainder of the season. That is assuming Incheon can win some games.
Here is a picture of the aftermath of the rolls of toilet paper that were thrown onto the field to signify the start of the new season and the first game of the new season. There was toilet paper everywhere. I feel bad for the people who's job it was to clean the mess up. Nicole and I loving that Incheon WON their home opener against Busan!! After every game the team walks past the Incheon United Supporters section and bows/waves, so we got to enjoy them at a reltaively close distance.
After the soccer game Nicole and I headed back to Yeonsu for some dulkgalbi and a few more drinks. Then we met up with a Korean friend who we hadn't seen in a while and ended up hanging out and drinking for a few more hours before calling it a night because we had to work the next day.
