Jen Watches Canada Win Hockey Gold

Today was my first middle-of-the-night sporting event in a foreign country. I did watch the Super Bowl, but I saw it on Monday night here and it was impossible not to already know the result. Luckily, Monday was Independence Day in Korea, so nobody had to work, therefore everyone could justify watching US v Canada play for gold in hockey at the bright early (or very late) time of 5:15am Monday morning.

Seeing as how at least half of the foreign contingent in Busan is Canadians, it was a full house and the crowd was charged with energy. It was super intense, and really fun. Even though I of course wanted the US to win, it was still fun to see all my Canadian friends celebrate and it was a really great game.
