We're in Seoul now, and unfortunately no longer have time to write elaborate picture blogs. Seeing that we're actually doing things of interest now, however, we don't really need to make up story lines and rely on trick photography to make what we're doing seem more exciting.
We registered today and received the draw. It is as follows:
July 4
Round One THW make the development of clean industry a condition for receiving non-emergency aid Opposition versus South Korea
Round Two Impromptu Proposition versus Germany
July 5
Round Three THW make Holocaust denial a crime Prop versus Scotland
Round Four Impromptu Opp versus Slovakia
July 6
Round Four THS the withdrawal of American troops from military bases in Asia Opp versus Estonia
Round Five Impromptu Prop versus the Netherlands
July 8
Round Six THBT free trade harms the developing world Prop versus Malaysia
Round Seven Impromtpu Opp versus Singapore
We've been having an excellent time training here over the past few days, but have had several brushes with death. Apparently it is completely acceptable to drive and park on the sidewalk here. Above are pictures of other things we have been doing.

Hey guys! So this may not be the most inspirational message you ever receive but I figure who it's from will make all the difference. You guys are going to have an incredible experience and you're all exceptionally deserving of it. I just wish that I could be there to see you guys show the world that Canada is a force to be reckoned with. I know that this will sound rather corny but you guys are amazing at what you do. You have every bit of skill and all the preparation you need to do this. I'm really proud to have been able to get to know all of you and at this point, all I can do is wish you safe travels and the best of luck! Oh, and one other thing:
Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.

Hopefully you haven't hit desperation yet, but the rest is all there!

Well this is going to sound rather dry after Dylan's heart-warming post :P But yeah, you guys already know I echo what he just said...
I was just going to comment on the draw. Not bad at all! Not that I don't have any doubt that you guys could easily have taken down South Africa, Australia, Ireland and England in the prelims (wait, that draw actually sounds somewhat familiar...), but there's nothing wrong with breaking first and creaming country #16 in the octos either! (No pressure guys ;)
Seriously though, I know you'll all do brilliantly. So on Canada day, GOOOOOOOO CANADA!
Happy Canada Day, Team Canuck!
Once again, you people are at Worlds for a reason and after the countless hours you've spent both debating and preparing to get to Seoul, no other Canadians are more deserving than you all.
Destroy your opponents and keep making us proud back home.
Tend to your legacies, Andrew and Kiersten, Stuttgart isn't enough. :-)
Enjoy yourselves in the rounds and about the city, stay safe and come back with something shiny!
