South Korean Baseball

As we mentioned in our post about how to apply for a visa, we had to leave Japan to re-start our tourist visas. We decided to go to South Korea as it is close and really cheap. Unfortunately, our experience in South Korea, was more of a disappointment then we thought it would be. Which meant, we didn't take very many photos. We did manage to make our way to a baseball game, which was definitely the trip's highlight.

If you are coming from the states, this is an absolute must in Korea. For as little as $10 you can see a game, and get great seats. Food is dirt cheap, and you can bring in from the outside. There are all kinds of stands outside the game selling beer ($3) and various foods (mainly meat). If this doesn't suit your tastes, there were all kinds of normal food vendors (pizza, kebabs, korean food, etc.). Seats are assigned, and even on a rainy day the game was sold out. If you can, plan ahead and buy online (Hotel concierge will also help you).

As it was a rainy day, this kiddo had the best seat in the house. For everyone else, plastic ponchos and umbrellas were an unfortunate must. 

The yellow platform about the dug out doubled as a stage for the cheer captain and cheerleaders. Yes, Americans, they have cheerleaders at baseball (and they were awesome!)

By the first inning, the stadium was packed.
