All bundled up and ready for the show
This was a part of the show where they moved what looked like lit-up doorways all around the stadium...made for a cool effect.
North and South Korea walk in together under a unified flag.
The return of the shirtless Tongan flagbearer! (That dude is an absolute beast for dressing like that in those temps.)
Team USA marches in.
Shouts to the homeland.
Out of nowhere, in the aisle right next to where we were sitting, DJT and a KJU impersonators appeared.
Needless to say, they drew a big crowd.
The dynamic duo make their exit.
I'll leave you with a funny story. When I got back from the Opening Ceremony, I stopped into a small Korean restaurant near my hotel to grab some food. I looked over the menu and chose the spicy chicken wings. When I told the owner what I wanted, he looked at me and said, very sternly, "Those are spicy." I said, "Yes, I know. I'll have them."
I should have been warned.
When I got back to my room, I opened the bag and along with the wings, there was a matching pair of plastic gloves. I thought to myself, "How bad could these be?" and dug in.
At first, not too bad. Tolerable. But then the heat started to kick in, and I knew I was in trouble. I grabbed the gloves and put them on, but it was too late. My hands were a saucy mess and my entire mouth was engulfed in flames.
When I finished the order, I quickly chugged as much water as I could, which did not provide any relief. So then I tried the only thing I could think of: brushing my teeth. And you know what? It cooled the fire.
Anyway, I found out the hard way that they do not mess around with the word "spicy" in Korea, and if you order food here and they give you freakin' OUTERWEAR to eat it, you could be in for a world of hurt.
