Baseball!


On the 4th of July, we all went to a Korean baseball game together, most of us for the first time. We got some On the Border(best semi-Mexican food I've been able to find in Korea) and headed out to watch the Doosan Bears vs. the LG Twins. All the baseball teams here are owned by major companies. Apparently the Bears are popular(at least with my students), but the Twins killed them this game. I always loved going to games growing up and then last year in Taiwan. I thought it was going to be the same as in Taiwan, but the turnout was incredible here. The olympic stadium in Seoul where the game was held was completely packed. There were people sitting in the isles and on the stairs. Nevertheless, it was a great time. Especially since you can bring your own food/drinks inside the stadium and tickets are only $6.

I'm jealous you're getting to go to all of these foreign baseball games! Maybe the A's should move to Korea so they can sell out a game every once in a while...
