World Cup Stadium

Last night we went to World Cup Stadium to watch Korea play Australia. We were a little late getting to the game, and when we got out of the subway station, we could hear the crowd singing and cheering from the stadium. It was really confusing to figure out how to get tickets, and we wandered around for a while amid vendors and scalpers trying to find a booth. Eventually, a man approached us with tickets and hurried us along with him toward the gate. We thought he was legitimate, but when he tried to shove us through, the security guards stopped him, ran him off, and tore up his tickets, which were evidently fake.
We eventually located the ticket booth, and on our way there we heard a tremendous cheer come from the stadium. Korea had scored the first and only goal of the game.

Cool! Ryan, have you considered trying out for the team?

Wow! That's a beautiful stadium. Did they build it especially for the 2002 Japan/S.Korea World Cup?
Now you two are going to have to go to another game to celebrate a goal! Question: How easy is it to travel to China or Japan from S. Korea ?
