[fan account] Not just his height, but Rain’s “wing span” would make most eagles jealous!

Please enjoy this, Cloud USA Cloudburst leader StarRain’s account of her trip to Seoul for Rain’s Best Seoul concert stop, the last on his Korea tour schedule, this past September.
StarRain heads up our Las Vegas Sun Cloudburst, so you CloudUSAers and Rain fans in Nevada, in California, and in the surrounding area don’t hesitate to get together and hobnob with her. Sharing in Rain in person is a heck of a lot of fun! Online stuff is terrific, but simply cannot compare to it, I’m here to tell you.
Nice going, StarRain! So glad you and hone2thab were able to go and have a great time.
Dear Rain fans, information on all of our Cloudburst locations can be found on the Cloud USA Forum, HERE.

Traveling to Seoul for an ultimate event—Rain’s Best Seoul concert stop!

The Seoul Girls have made it home safely (okay we’ve been home for a couple weeks) and we had an awesome time! Here are a few updates from our trip!
On September 21st, Cloud member hone2thab and I traveled together from San Francisco, CA to Seoul, South Korea. Although the plane ride was long (I think a total of 11 hours…not sure, someone fell asleep 😀 ) we were totally pampered on Singapore Airlines! We arrived on September 22nd in the evening (Korean time) so our first thought was “finding our hotel”!
We spent the next day getting ourselves acclimated to Seoul, its subways and of course…FOOD! Seoul is very beautiful but extremely busy! People were very helpful (yes, we did get a little lost *gasp* ONCE!).
But of course our focus was THE ULTIMATE EVENT WHICH WE HAD YET TO EXPERIENCE!!! Sorry, I was reliving it right there. I was totally unbelieving that the following evening I would be in the same room with my the man (oops)! We were lucky enough to get tickets up front/floor for BOTH CONCERTS! …sorry, had to wipe my forehead again (sweating again).
We arrived at the Olympic Stadium Park around 2pm on Saturday, September 24th, and we were so frenzied we were sweating (or maybe it was the 2 mile walk to the other side of this huge park)!
We arrived at the venue and I can’t even explain what it was like to see Rain’s picture in every direction you looked! I stayed calm…really I did!
Then we met up with Heidi (some may know her as “huhuhu” from the Cloud)…who spotted us right off! I wanted to give a little “shout out” to huhuhu because she is an awesome Cloud! She was working diligently in the heat to ensure all Cloud had their tickets and were ready for the show!
Our tickets… It felt a little like “Charlie from Willy Wonka land” with these actually in our hands!
We met up with other Clouds (RainCloudBi…here’s your shout out!) and then came time to conquer the Rain “The Best Show” souvenir crowd! Many vendors with many Rain encrusted items were scattered all over the area both nights before and after the concert.

Then GAME ON! We got in our respective lines to enter the venue! Wristbands on, tickets in hands and grins from Seoul back to San Francisco! As we waited for the concert to begin, there was a feeling in the air that is indescribable.
We were very close to the stage both nights…AWESOME! I wanted to be close enough to get Rain’s sweat on me! (seriously, no complaints from me if it happened!)
Then the lights went out….
I won’t do a fan girl play-by-play but I think I stopped breathing when he actually came out… He was a powerful force on stage and the performances were excellent…of course! Being that close to him and having the chance to see him perform your favorite song cannot be described. And because we were upfront and he moved so much, most of my pictures were “behind” shots! My life is complete! I say this a lot, but I don’t think anyone has a good idea of how big Rain really is until you see him up close. (By big I mean his stature/body size) Not just his height but Rain’s wing span would make most eagles jealous! Those arms!!! *big evil grin*
Below are a few pictures I took of the trip, venue and concert nights (honestly, Rain moves too dang fast for my camera!) I have seen a lot of the fan cams and I enjoyed those more than the ones I took!

I WANT THAT PILLOW! Girl, but I am jealous!
Thanks, StarRain for the recap of your adventure. I love it! And love your humour as usual.

Wow. You got all the “loot” huh? Too bad none of his merchandise is available to purchase online (at least not without 10 translators and a computer software guru).
Looks like you had a great time. I hope I can up the ante on Rain “gear” at my house one of these days. (SMILES)
