Hey, better late than never, right? I had a good time this year at the VFW‘s annual Super Bowl party in Haebangcheon, near Itaewon. Here’s a good map to the VFW Canteen, with directions, from Republicans Abroad Korea. Bart was sick with food poisoning that morning, so it was just me, Ras, and Kevin. We arrived at 6:45, 15 minutes after the doors opened, and there were only two tables left. Of course we headed for the breakfast buffet first. I filled myself up with breakfast, coffee, and donuts throughout the game.

Most of the crowd was rooting for the Giants. I asked Kevin why everyone hated the Patriots so much, and his answer was along the lines of, “Because they’re so perfect!” Ok, I can live with that.

I also met a Canadian who had found my blog online before coming over to visit his friend in Seoul. He read about my Super Bowl post and dragged his friend out of bed to come see the game. Here’s a picture of Freddie and Scott below. Speaking of meeting people, Steve of seoulsteves.com introduced himself to me near the bar. It’s always nice to meet other bloggers and put a face to a name.

Jeff, who had initially emailed me about the event, was very gratious and walked around the tables making sure everyone was taken care of. He dropped by our table and thanked us for coming out.

Good times all around. If I’m still in the country next year for the Super Bowl, this is the place I’ll be.
