I have always loved sports. Basketball is my true love, but i really love all sports. And the best way to watch any sport is by goin to games. In the US it can be really expensive to go see your favorite teams play. In Korea that is not the case. I have recently started goin to baseball games here in Incheon. The Incheon SK Wyverns. They are pretty much the Yankees of Korean baseball. Its nice that i finally have a team that wins to cheer for.
I first attended a game about 2 months or so ago. As much as i love America, i must say, baseball games are 100x better here in Korea. First off, they cost around $8 and its open seating. So, if you get there first, guess what, you get any seat you want. Even better than that, you can bring in any kind of food or beverage you want. So if you wanna bring in a case of beer and a large pizza, go for it. But the even better part is that food and beer are so cheap at the games anyway, you dont really need to. While the players might not be as good as in America, the fans cheer like they are 1000x better. Every player has their own theme song/entrance music. And all the fans sit on one side of the stadium and cheer for them because of course, each player has his own cheer.
I have been to 4 baseball games so far. All have been just as exciting as the last, and all have been booze filled. One game in particular was quite the experience. Rachel, Eimer, Logan, Younghee, and myself decided to drink some delicious soju. The only problem with delicious soju is that it tastes so good so you dont realize how drunk you actually are until its too late. Unfortunately the game ended and we had to leave, but not before some sweet fireworks to celebrate. After the fireworks we walked to a popular bar area and on the way an incident happened between Rachel and myself. I will give you my side of the story, since its the true one. On the way to the bars Rachel decided to shove me with all her might into traffic, not nice I know. She claims she lightly pushed me and that i just happened to fall because of the curb. In no way is that true. But being the gentleman that I am, I decided to let this incident go...NOT. I lightly tapped her and she was so drunk that she fell off the curb as well except she tumbled backward and fell into traffic and was very nearly killed by a bus. Of course, we all know that Rachel started it so she deserved everything she gets. She then complained all night about how I had tried to kill her, which is partially true cuz I hate her guts.
Anyway, I have been in Korea for over 7 months now, and have made many wonderful friends since I have been here, both westerners and Koreans alike. Im sure many of these people will be lifelong friends that I will talk with for the rest of my life.
And yes I know that I suck at blogging recently, but whatevs. You still love me!!
