I went over with Darren, Mark, and Beth; we were planning to get to hang out with other people since we see each other almost everyday.  However, we pretty much stuck with each other the entire night.  We got to Daegu pretty early and did a lot of wandering around (mostly because we didn't have our Korean speaking...
