whirlwind in Korea...

Ray just got back from a week tour in Korea, playing four games in five days.  Though we don't have any photos or video from the games, Ray came out playing incredibly well, averaging a team high 24 points and nearly a 90% free throw percentage. I know that if he were writing this blog he wouldn't mention the huge dunks and 3 point shots, but he's not writing this blog...:)

They spent half the time in Seoul, and the other half in Buson.  BIG city, huge urban sprawl, good basketball.  Ray's favorite part were the HUGE buffets in their hotel.  Squids not included...

This was the view from Ray's room.  Concrete for miles...

Ray and his teammates got suits tailored for them while they were there!  Ray has never had one that fits him well, and now he has a very sharp, silk suit... for only $200!!!  A suit like this would go for easily over $1200 in the U.S.!
Ray said he felt like he was in New York most of the time.  Tons of lights, huge markets, SO many people...
I can't express how happy I am to have him back, though I know that a week alone was good for me.  It's pretty cool to see the opportunities that basketball has brought to Ray, and the places he has been able to see!!
