Kia Tigers

go tigers!

We recently went to a baseball game at the stadium in Jamsil, Seoul.

The snacks were pretty god awful....dried squid anyone?

The fans for the Tigers are pretty much awesome...they never stopped cheering...well that is, until it started lightning and pouring rain.

And to think...this pretty little patch of sky started it all.

A note about Korean baseball: they don't have "regional" teams, like we do in the States. Instead, they are sponsored by corporations (I guess it's the same in America, but here, they don't even try to hide it), such as the LG Twins (LG), Doosan Bears (Doosan), Kia Tigers (Kia), Hyundai Unicorns (Hyundai), and Samsung Lions (Samsung). Do you see the trend here?
But beer is $3 a pop and there's all the pat bing soo you can handle!
