I've been spending some time watching classic shows.
This week I got my hands on Spin and Marty. As in Spin and Marty of the Triple R ranch from Disney. Mid 50s tv show. For those of you who remember it. I think it was a great show. Still is too!

Dancing Korean Style!!
So the past 2 weekends have been packed chock-full of dancing!
First I went and saw the B-Boys last weekend. For all of you who've never heard of B-Boys, it's basically break dancing. It's not a Korean things but they are pretty unbelievable at it. So what I saw was what turned out to be called Monster Jam 2009 B-Boys WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Yup! That's right!! I got to see the best of the best break dancers going up against each other March Madness bracket style. It was 1v1 type battles. They drew names out of a box and then got up on stage 2 at a time and started dancing freestyle. Each guy got 3 times in the middle to show their stuff. THey had some judges up on stage who picked the winner. A white guy from Germany won the whole thing, his name is ATA. Not my favorite, I liked Street.
Here's a taste of one of the better battles of the night.
This is Street (my fav) vs Blonde.
This past weekend I went to one of my Korean co-workers', Alex, swing dancing performances. It was at a community center and it gave it a really nice swingy feel. Basically a ton of people take swing classes and every 2-3 months they have all the classes come and show off what they've learned. So I got to see 2 hours of some great swing dancing. All different styles of swing too. Alex teaches a class too so she was really excited to see them out there doing so well. She was pretty good and super excited that we showed up too. It was a ton of fun!

Plaaaaaaaay Baaaaaallllllll!
Updates have been sparse lately as you can see. I'll be getting on that from here on. Things have been a bit busy. My schedule fills up quickly these days.
Went to a baseball game today. LG Twins versus the Samsung Lions. The Twins won this one in style. A home run and some smart play led them to victory. While dismantling the Lions, LG loaded up the bases and smacked out a grand slam too! First one I've seen in a while. The crowds are great here. They have cheerleaders. Everybody knows the chants and there isn't much downtime from chanting and cheering for their teams. It is a very lively atmosphere. The games not any different than at home except that it is CHEAPER!!!! $6 for a ticket! Food is cheap too. None of that $10 bucks for a hotdog and coke. One guy broke his bat and still managed a double out of it. There was a downer moment when a foul ball caught a fan in the head. People rushed over. The game didn't even flinch at it though and kept rolling on. I'm not sure how that situation turned out.
Overall, good experience. I was a little disappointed that more people didn't come out for the game. It's hard getting some people to focus and follow through. Oh well, that's life I suppose.
Here's a link to information about the teams and league
