Perhaps I was swayed by the fact that I had been living there a few years. I hit up a lot of outdoor events and knew the good places to be and when to be there. Korea's improbable run (ignoring the controversy around it) probably had a lot to do with it as well. The games themselves were decent (watching Spain was a joy) but the parties...oh man. It was a good time to be a young(ish) (single) footie fan. That might have swayed my opinion too heh.
