test and one week update!

What a week it has been. Since the first match things have died down... but only a little. Oh I must remind all of you (and by all I mean the 2 that read this thing) that I usually only work at the Soccer City venue which means you won't actually see me on TV unless they are at Johannesburg Soccer City. So those of you who were looking for me in Rustenburg or Durban or Cape Town... I am definitely NOT there.

That being said, now that FIFA headquarters knows that I speak both Korean and English they are talking about deploying me to different stadiums in the area when those matches with those language populations are present. It's been weird having to think in 3 languages again. Whenever I want to speak in Korean, Spanish comes out and vice versa. It gets even harder because the locals are teaching me some of the 11 languages here and I swear everyday they try to teach me something new and my little tiny brain canNOT handle it. I still can only say "Good morning, thank you" in Zutu. Not even Zulu! Drives me insane. I'm learning the different clicks though and goodness gracious it's hard. Speaking of Korean, I was lent to Ellis Park yesterday for the Korea DPR v Brazil game and sat with the Koreans in the VIP section. SUCH A GOOD GAME! I'm so proud that they scored one goal AND they team waved at us as they went back to their locker rooms!

Tomorrow is the Korea Republic v Argentina game and I know I will lose my voice. It should be fun though. I am definitely working at that one and will try to make it pitch-side so look for me tomorrow!

One last thing... I'm going to Cape Town this weekend and hopefully it'll prove to be completely awesome. I get to see my sister and we are going to the North Korea v. Portugal game and it should be amazing!
