Woori Heros Baseball!


We went to a baseball game last night. It's so different (like everything else) how they do things. The teams are owned by corporations. The Woori Heros (tobacco company) played the Doosan Bears (booze company), so it was one of those!
Anyway, they don't cheer or heckle when the other team is up to bat. They make all kinds of noise when their team is up to bat. And they have cheerleaders that get up and dance- and they have a mascot as well. The Heros won, and we all crammed into a taxi to get home faster than the subway that got us there- it was like 1/3 mile from the station to the stadium.
It wasn't super-crowded in there, the hot dogs were expensive and spicy and I tried dried squid- I call it Octopus Jerky. It's a little rubbery, but not bad.

Happy Birthday. With the time difference you'll read this the day after, I suppose.

Was the baseball game a birthday outing? Anyway, hope you are enjoying your Korean adventure.

That is so funny! I bet the kids liked the Taxi ride. I would have liked to be at that game just to listen to your commentary. Funny stuff.
