On Saturday night we went to Olympic Stadium for a Billy Joel concert. I hadn't been to an indoor concert since MC Hammer in the late eighties! Anyway, here was the view of the stadium, where Seoul also hosted the Olympics in 1988:
For some reason, I assumed that the food vendors would sell standard stadium fare - burgers, beer, pizza, fries, hot dogs. Instead, vendors sold street food from makeshift stands:
Concert-goers dined on ramen,
tteokpokki, soup, extra greasy dough-covered hot dogs, and canned Cass Beer.
Could you imagine trying to take a bowl of soup back to your seat?

Hope you enjoyed the concert! And, that was a good question.. soup doesn't seem like concert fare.
The concert was great! The music was relaxing but kind of depressing (Allentown, Piano Man). I wish he had played Uptown Girl. I guess he's too old for that song.
That is SO funny about selling soup at a concert. No indoor concerts since MC Hammer? May I remind you of the Cowboy Junkies at UB, or do you not count that one since you left and went out to sit in the car?? :)
Becky - I forgot about that concert! Anyway, it didn't seem 'real' since they played on UB Campus!
