I love Cloud USAer Patsiii‘s videos. Why? They literally made me jump up and down to the beat in my seat.

Of the many fan cams I’ve watched and thoroughly enjoyed during this tour (and there were some great ones!), hers capture the grand scope of a Rain Best Show.  The panoramas and the closer shots somehow convey the magnificence and majesty of the event, right through the screen. You can FEEL how HUGE the event is, and that Rain, his Crew, and the fans are One, and I’ve no idea how she managed to do that. I didn’t even care when things got shaky when she had to jostle for position.

Didn’t care at all.

Congrats on a job well done, Patsiii. And thanks for your fan account! So glad you and DN had a good time. 😀

My Trip to Korea for Rain’s Seoul Concerts

By: Patsiii @the Cloud USA Forum, 9/28/11

Regardless of how many confused looks and eye rolls I received when I announced to friends and family that I really wanted to go to see Rain’s last 2 concerts, I purchased my tickets the day they went on sale (7/22) and went forward with my trip plans. My knowledge of Korea amounted to what I had seen in the dramas, so I found a hotel where English was spoken that was close to Olympic Park.

Friday, 9/23 –

I flew on Korean Air (great airline by the way) and arrived at Incheon around 4 PM. I had arranged for a car to take me to my hotel which was an hour away from the airport. After I had gotten settled into my room, I got a call from the desk asking if I would accept a visitor. (I had inadvertently set the Privacy button to On). Of course I wanted to see my Cloud Friend DN. I had only known DN from the Cloud USA chat room and was anxious to meet her in person. She is a lovely person with an infectious smile. We decided to go to McDonald’s and get a burger and started planning on how much DN would be able to show me in the short time I was there.

Saturday, 9/24 –

Hardly sleeping at all, I was up at 6:00. I put on my gym clothes and decided to try and find some coffee outside. There was a street Vendor right near the hotel. The coffee was instant but surprisingly good. I walked around a little. It was so clean and even though I was staying in a city area, I felt very safe. After my walk, I went to the hotel gym to exercise.

DN agreed to meet me outside my hotel a few hours before the concert so she could show me around a little and we could grab some lunch.  We got to Olympic Park around 4 and both of us still had to pick up our tickets. The line for the Concert goods was quite long but we got into it anyway and purchased the items we had promised our Cloud sisters in the US. I was so excited to be there… it was crowded with Rain Lovers… me and DN included. I had brought Rain a gift of Tastykakes from Phila and luckily DN knew someone who could deliver my gift to Rain.

DN and I were not sitting together at the concert… she had standing and I had a seat in Area 12. We parted and planned to meet after the concert. I brought my video camera even though I read filming wasn’t allowed but figured it was worth the risk. Luckily, nobody stopped me from filming. I will be posting the vids up as soon as I can. They all need to be converted first. My heart started pounding as the lights dimmed and the concert started. It was just amazing. I felt so happy to be there. Nothing can compare to experiencing Rain live. I wish I had closer seats though.  I was hoping that during the encore, security would remove the barriers between the seats and the stage but no luck. I never was able to getclose to the stage… darn.

After the concert, DN and I met and decided to go get pancakes at a restaurant she raved about. She was right about the pancakes… they were delicious. She showed me J.TuneCamp’s office. We did a lot of walking and subway riding and DN couldn’t have been more accommodating.

Sunday, 9/25 – 2nd Concert Day

I was able to sleep the night before and got up around 8. I ventured out for some more coffee and walked around a little. I sat on a bench near my hotel and drank my coffee while people-watching. As I was sitting there, an ahjumma came up to me and said ‘Korea is your friend forever’ to which I smiled and said ‘Thank you’. I guess she assumed I was American with my light hair. Then a few moments later, she came back and spoke something else in Korean which I didn’t understand and handed me an Orange drink. I was so touched by that.

Later that day, DN and I met up again a few hours before the concert at the stadium. Before DN got there, several girls came up to me and asked if I was really from the U.S., how did I know Bi, and did I come there just for the concert.

DN and I decided on a Chinese restaurant in Olympic Park which was very good. After that, it was time for the concert. DN and I parted as we weren’t sitting together. She had to leave at 8 so I didn’t get to see her afterward.

Well, the concert was unbelievable… again. This time however, Rain ran a short vid of pics of himself and then spoke a little. It was so very sad. When he started crying, I did too… and I didn’t even know what he was saying. After the concert ended, I didn’t want to leave. I wish I had looked for where Rain would be exiting from… next time I will.

I found a taxi to take me back to my hotel. The driver was so surprised that I came all the way from the U.S. to see Rain. I honestly don’t know what is so surprising about it, but I guess you have to be a Cloud to understand.

[Stephe’s NOTE: LOL @second marker :15! The band pulled one—or two—over on Rain, huh, being “slightly off” with the start of “I Do”.  LOL! And did Rain ask them with mock indignation, “출래?” (Chullae?) “You wanna do this?” LOL! An additional FYI: Several times he asks the fans, “뭐라고?” (Mwolago?) “What?” To which they answered, of course, “I do!” ^@@^]

Monday, 9/26 –

Sadly, I started my journey home. I really liked Korea and would definitely go back… when Rain is in town.
