And cue my mom freaking out that I might plan to stay in S. Korea for the next seven years instead of one just to see the Olympics. Um, it might be a valid worry. Anywho, congratulations to SK!

Well, if y'all start saving now, y'all probably will have a hefty sum to pay off travel and hotel expenses! And should your obsession with SK fade by then (but, honestly, why would it? Psh!), you'll still have a nice chunk of change to do whatever with. It's totally win-win!
