KoYon Games (part 2)
The after Ko-Yon Games was even crazier...
Near our University, Student gathered after the games to celebrate. The atmosphere is getting crazy, everybody can feel it: Even with the pouring rain it will be a good good night (just like the song lol). Confusion reign amongst foreign exchange students and freshman but we are not afraid, the feeling of brotherhood is in the air. the fact is : as long as we stay within our group we know we will have some fun and that seniors will take care of us. I never been part of any club, fraternity or else back home so I'm discovering this for the first time. what a wonderful feeling!
Our group heads toward the street in Anam where the celebrations are taking place. Neighbors had already decorated the streets with different slogan congratulating both universities. We stop our indian chain 'a la queue-leu-leu briefly to hear our seniors explaining what the deal is. This is when I learned that the alumni of each university comes here after the games every year to "pay back" to the student community. In sum, the owners or old students of each university pays for the students. So we have to go around and if the tenants of this establishment acknowledge Korea University then we all eat and drink on their tab. What a wonderful idea we all realized haha. so its like treat or treat Korean version, instead of wearing a costume we display our university true color red or blue, some tenants ask us to sing motto, other to dance or whatever their wishes we did and all night long bar hoping in the rain drinking and celebrating. Who ever won was not really important after all. Comrades in drinking passing other teams our or not chanting, teasing each other, thanking god we are young and lucky, not thinking about the next morning hangover ... LOL
