Ultimate Frisbee is sweeping the nation!!! Or will be soon.
So I text messaged everyone I know in Suji (all ten people, seven of which are co-workers, one is some random Korean dude we met on the bus last night) this morning in an attempt to rally up a Sunday afternoon game of Ultimate. I don't know about elsewhere but at McMaster it is popular beyond belief. And my brother is an all-star, thanks to our many hours spent playing in the backyard, no doubt.
I digress.
I got one respone - the bus guy - and he couldn't make it. Last minute though I managed to pull together a group of seven (and a half - a five year old might not counts as a whole) people to play, including a Kiwi stranger we heckled off the street.
It was a rip roarin' game: Me, Shawn, and Shay versus D'Arcy, Dan, and Sara. Though my team was ahead at the first break, D'Arcy's team came up from behind and slaughtered us whole-heartedly. Rick, you would have been proud despite the Neuman loss.
Man, am I out of shape though! I was huffing and puffing after one two minute point. But it was great fun for all.
I can already see the teams, t-shirts, and leagues forming. Give it two weeks, tops. Yup. Uh huh. Mark my words.. next Sunday we'll double in numbers from six to twelve, no doubt. I bet you can't wait.
We called it a game in favour of water at the E-Mart and then a heavenly meal at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant that just opened last week. Now there are TWO of these places in Suji.
Another work week is soon to begin...

There already is an ultimate league. :P
I don't know if Suji has representation though.
This years tournament was in Jeju-do.
Well in that case, Suji will be on the map by next season. Go Suji go!
i hear the rains are coming to korea...batten down the hatches...
Where did you hear that???? It rained today in fact. Oh deary me! If it lifts the humidity away I'll be glad.
