NEW ZEALAND ROCKS!!Here are some rocks from New Zealand, mainly graywacke, but a little of pumice and some ponamu. They were bought to Korea for the Olympics in 1988, and were put in this little area of other countries rocks. They are at the olympic stadium, where we went on Sunday, because being out of Dunedin for such a long time, we needed to get our riot fix.
The New Zealand flag actually has a mechanism in it, that works in reverse to the American flag on the moon and causes it never to wave, while all the other flags wave about. It just shows how humble New Zealanders are I guess, or something about kiwi ingenuity maybe, whatever the case our flag sure dominated the Australian flag, in some cruel mistake by the Korean government, or perhaps on Australian himself raised the Cook Island flag in its place. This is all for the '88 games.
Here's some rude Korean lady who was just flipping the bird furiously at passers-by. It just happens everyday.
At Seoul national park. Good day for a pro China rally.
They were so happy to have foreigners support China that they give you flags, in exchange for all of your information, so if you ever speak harm of China they can hunt you down and make you return the flags I suppose. After we got these babies (flags) we were like celebrities, everyone was getting photos with us and talking about how great China is.
The Olympic gate, where the eternal flame burns, is where the torch relay started in Seoul. Wasn't too much violence going on here, and if there was, I think we chose the right side, numbers wise at least, to be on.
The guy with the torch. Probably some one famous. Maybe Helen Clarke.
