So does anyone have plans on attending the games in Pyeongchang?
I'm debating that myself. In Canada now. Have a free place to stay in Seoul. Would be quite the experience.

I guess the deciding factor for me will be if NHL players participate.

I'll be going, and that will mark my last big event before moving back home!

It will be fun just to see how organised it will be, and how the Gaejoshis are represented in the world media. Korea could use this as a means to remove negative aspects of society; improve road safety, pedestrian safety, hygiene; spitting and pissing in public etc. If Korea doesn't use this to stimulate social reform, it never will.

Yeah, I mean compared to Brazil and Russia, Korea is a total social disaster. I'm sure the media will hit them much harder than those two places, which of course you know, were totally obliterated in the media to the point of extreme reform, especially Russia. Putin's never been weaker!

won't be as bad as Russia/Brazil, but won't be as good as Canada/Greece.

(exactly won't be an F (Brazil), a D-(Russia), a B+(Greece) or A+(Canada). It will be a solid C.
