World Short-Track Speed Skating Championships

Jeonju-City, South Korea
Within hours of arriving in Korea, I was invited to hop on a bus with a group of Canadian Embassy people who were headin' to Jeonju (2.5 hours south of Seoul) for some great food and some fast, fantastic short-track speed skating. What a great way to get through jet lag!

Typical crowded street, Jeonju Canadian Embassy people in front of a palace gate in Jeonju
CLICK! to view FULL SIZE Korean tour buses are equipped with Karaoke systems. (Depending on how you respond to really bad singing, time can seem to either pass by very quickly or drag on for an eternity.)
Jeonju Arena entrance - look at all those flowers!!
Canadian contingent, consisting of embassy workers and teachers
The only decent pic I got of actual speed skating--they're soooo fast!
The Canadian men won the silver medal at this competition. They're the team on the left, in red.
These four guys were not only silver medallists--they were also the heart-throbs of hundreds of screaming Korean girls!
