go doosan!

koreans love baseball. i was invited to go to a game after work one day last week so, after a brief hesitation, i went. one of the korean teachers at my school is a HUGE fan of the local team, the Doosan Bears. she had enough hats, t-shirts & noise-makers for the whole office, so we fit right in at the game. there weren't a whole lot of fans in the stadium, the game itself wasn't all that great, and "our" team ended up losing 1-0...but it was a GREAT time. we had good seats, almost right in front of the MC stage...that's right...they have an MC, leading the fans in hilarious chants and cheers throughout the game. oh, and not to leave out the dancers...there were only 2 of them, but they were also entertaining, to say the least. all of this was made more enjoyable thanks to the beer guys...walking around w/ little mini-keg backbacks to keep our cups full. there weren't any hotdogs or peanuts, but plenty of dried squid jerky to appease any oral fixations. i will definely do this again. go doosan!
