Baseball, Busan style!!

We went to our first baseball game today, and what an intro it was. The chaos feel that Korea can give you definitely carried over to how they host a baseball game. Today is children's day in Korea, and the stadium was absolutely packed to cheer on the Busan Lotte Giants. They have three sets of tickets, two of which provide assigned seats and the other is general seating. We discovered today that they sell more tickets than they have seats, and we found ourselves sitting on a set of stairs. Typical food at the ballpark included ice cream bars, beer, dried squid, fish paste on a stick and a few other Korean treats. We stuck to a beer and the peanuts Amanda brought in. From the singing to chanting the players' names, from the organized chaos to using orange plastic bags to cheer on the team in the later innings, this was one entertaining afternoon!!

Like I said, the place was sold out!!

The plastic bags are an environmental disaster yet usefool tool to wave around and cheer or pick up your garbage when the game is over....very Korea.

Our Children's Day game buddies. The young lady shared her ice cream bar with me (She did not give me much of a choice...).
