Taiwanese Baseball

A few pictures from Baseball.

You can bring food and beer into the baseball stadium...very good considering there are no concession stands...




Desiree(my boss), Bethany and I. It was stinking hot, even though it was late evening.




I thought it was cool to look and see these apartment buildings. Something you definitely don't see in the U.S.



We paid about $4US to get into this game, and I probably had more fun at this baseball game than any I have been to in the US. They seem to have it backwards. Instead of being quiet when your team is up to bat, you are supposed to get really really loud. There were some interesting cheers as well. We chose to root for the "Bears" mainly because there was a guy with the last name "Gonzalez" and it was the only one we could actually read. They have a cheer for him: "Go! Go! Gonzo!" He was an outfielder and was right in front of us so we took to cheering extra loud for him. He eventually turned around and talked to us!! How exciting....




Oh what fun...Shaun and Angela will be excited to join me for the next one....

Maybe geisel's football team will play a taiwan team and you could go see him play! You never know. A lot of the guys from opendoor have been playing softball in the PHill league. They were 0-10... but it's not about winning, right.
