Well, I've never been one to turn on the tv and watch ESPN. Baseball, football, golf... i could really care less. If I had to watch one I'd probably watch some soccer. But when you're in Korea, sports are totally different. I went to a baseball game last week in Busan. The stadium was huge and packed! I got there late, it was a last minute plan. They have cheerleaders at baseball games here. And this whistle guy. He is like the head cheerleaders/mascot. He leads people in cheers and is utterly ridiculous. The game itself was good. Long, but good. I had some Korean fried chicken, which is somehow a little spicy and has a hint of cinnamon. Its pretty good, but different. So here are some pictures from our day:

This is Elana. She is a new friend. She is from South Africa, but would rather say she is from the UK.
There was a person throwing out trash bags (the orange things on our heads, mine was ripped) once 3/4 of the game was over. And, most of the people instantly made the bags into a cute bow head band, or bunny ears, or into a big round orange ball. After the game was over you had a trash bag to clean up your mess with. Saves the people working a bit of time and energy. Great idea! So, overall the game was a success: party hats, fried chicken, camaraderie, and a victory!
