Flea Market

So I went to the flea market at the World Cup Stadium. From what I saw on the website I thought it was going to be inside the stadium. I held strong in this belief even when I made this video:


Unfortunately, the event was held outside. There were a lot of booths from companies promoting things. Some water company handed out some free bottles of water, which was nice because even though it was cool outside, everyone was standing in the bright sun. There were a bunch of charity and non-profit organizations spreading their propaganda, like the Free Trade Black Tea group and some "help kids in some country you never heard of" people. I am not trying to be mean about their causes, but the only reason people were stopping at their tables was to pick up free stuff. I did find one group that was of use to me. It's a group that has volunteers who you can call to help translate for you. They are the ones who wrote down my name in Korean. They also gave me a big black fabric bag to carry stuff in. Some magazine publisher was there giving away back issues of magazines, like Newsweek and Forbes. I grabbed some, even though they were in Korean. The Newsweek one has John McCain and Sarah Palin on the cover. Another group was one of the gas/diesel/lpg companies that was advertising some mp3 player. I don't know why they were advertising it, but I didn't ask questions because 1. I don't know Korean, and 2. They had cute girls passing out little packages with bandaids. Here is a video of their booth:


Anyways, I walked around and the place was so crowded that you had to puch people out of the way to actually see the things that people were selling. I didn't buy anything because I didn't see anything interesting, plus I didn't want to go through the hassle of pushing and shoving everyone in my path. On the plus side, I did get close enough to get a video of someone in a Spongebob costume. I have no idea why they had Spongebob at the flea market. Here's the video:


And that was my day.
