Stampede and football....

I wanted to try and get hold of a dictionary of accounting before I start work so that I can start learning all the words I'm going to need to know. I looked online and surprisingly such a book exists and was available from the book shop in Coex and thus we went to buy one on Sunday afternoon.

We were walking along looking at this and that when up ahead we heard screaming. We continued walking, turned around a corner and were almost run over by a stampede of about 200 teenage girls. We were walking four abreast and would have been annihilated but were just able to pick the children up. It was kind of like the scene in the Lion King when Mufasa dies...anyhow, we assume there was an appearance by a 'talent' as in the distance we could see some guy dressed like an extra from an early Duran Duran video...

After our close escape, we went to the bookstore and got the dictionary and then went to the (scale) model shop to look at models. On the way there we saw some pictures flashing on the floor. On closer inspection, it was some kind of interactive display that reacts to you moving your feet. It had various scenarios and my children wanted to stay there all afternoon. Here they are playing football.

After a couple of turns we swung round to Megabox to see what they were showing and ran into some players from Reading FC (they're here playing a pre-season tournament) at an autograph signing. We saw Seol Ki-Hyeon, Alan Bennett, Ivar Ingimarsson, Dave Kitson, John Oster and Brynjar Gunnarsson. They looked fairly bemused by the whole thing and I'd love to ask them how they are enjoying their time in Korea. Actually more than 10% of the Premiership are in Korea this week cos Bolton are playing in the same tournament and Man U are playing their own friendly on Friday.

Anyhow, after all that excitement we went home to watch 'the boys' play against Bahrain and watching that game I rather wish I had been trampled to death earlier in the day.
