take me out to the ball game!

I finally made it to a Korean baseball game!!!

I'd been anxious to go since baseball is one of Korea's most beloved sports. I didn't want to leave the country without being a part of something I'd heard so much about from my students.









And WOW am I glad I went!

It was by far the most fun and exciting baseball game I've ever attended!

This was kind of my farewell hurrah, compliments of a few of my coworkers.

We were cheering for the SK Wyverns.

Unfortunately, they lost. But that didn't stop us from cheering passionately!

We had the best cheerleading squad ever!

YES, there were cheerleaders at a baseball game!!!

This guy was so entertaining! I think I watched him more than I watched the game.

And they danced...

...sorry, lots of cheerleading pictures...

There were many funny moments during the game, reminding me that I was indeed in Korea.

The opposing team had a Hello Kitty mascot. It was pretty awesome!! :-)

During one break this guy was recognized for something (didn't really understand the Korean) but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with his dashing outfit!

Please notice the pink feather headband he's wearing along with this hot pink t-shirt! To his great joy he was givin a Hello Kitty doll!!!! Every man's dream!

During another time-out, they had a contest!--WHO HAS THE BIGGEST HEAD?

And of course no baseball game is complete without the Ajuma selling squid jerky! Forget the peanuts and cracker jack, let's just chew on a dried squid tentacle!

After the game we went to Ttukbokki Alley (pronounced duck-boke-key) and indulged in a delicious pot of goodness!

Yummy yum yummy yum YUM!

***The rest of the night was spent in the Noraebang (Karaoke) and I was just too caught up in singing and dancing to even think about my camera! You'll just have to imagine it.

To all of you girls who made this day a blast!!!! THANK YOU! You've made my time here so meaningful. I won't forget you.

Peace out!
