Land Elephants

It was not on my list, but my first and (alas) last basketball game in Korea was a great way to spend an afternoon looking at tall athletic young men. We were there to cheer on Maureen's friend Jarod Stevenson (문테종) who plays for the Incheon ET Land Elephants (not to be confused with the sea elephants).

Jarod is wearing the white sweatband.

There was also something for the boys.

I don't know who Pocari is, but his sweat is delicious and refreshing.

The basketball players weren't THAT tall, these are mini-cheerleaders.

I was picked out of the crowd for being a foreigner and given a signed ball. That's not going to happen in Germany.

Last Christmas

I already regret my fashion choices of last year.

But I can not regret spending Christmas with such lovely people.

Thank you guys so much for making my first Christmas without family such a happy and memorable one.
