Hey beautiful friends & enemies~

Today I am back with some interesting news. I was able to watch a very exciting handball game last week.

On the 17th January I got a special chance to witness one of the most intriguing games of my life. Thanks to the embassy of the republic of Korea I was able to watch a game where the joined Korean team was playing against  Brasil at the 2019 IHF Handball World Championship.

I actually have never before watched a handball game nor was I ever really interested in it. But even for me, a total anti sports watcher, was the moment magical.

Before going into the Mercedes Benz arena Berlin, we met with a woman who was giving out t-shirts and cheering sticks outside. After wearing our white cheer-on-Korea shirt we went in to find our places. It was so cool, since everyone in the block was wearing the same t-shirts and was full of willpower to cheer on the Korean team till their voices disappear. It felt really special being able to cheer on a team together. A lot of Koreans were present to look over their beloved handball team. The power from the songs sung and the clapping was breathtaking. Everyone kept on chanting “let’s go Korea” “be strong Korea” “it’s ok Korea” what a view.

In total there were 4 players from the North and 16players from the South who competed together in the International Handball Federation (IHF) World Men’s Handball Championship, which was hosted by Germany and Denmark this year.

I think it was my first time being able to see a north-south joined team playing together in real life. Never mind, the place they achieved, I believe it was a great experience for Everyone, both players and watchers.

AND FOR NOW..

..keep warm, since it’s still cold outside
