Take Me Out To The Korean Ball Game!

Hey there. This week I got to experience first hand, a Korean baseball game. These guys go NUTS for baseball! In fact thats an understatement. I had always heard how in Japan baseball is all the rage, but little little did I know the extreme popularity of the sport over here. Not a huge surprise though, seeing how a lot of American culture bleeds into modern South Korean culture. Actually, that right there spot lights whats so cool about this... the culture mixing! "Hot dog please?"no no no no no... not happenin' at a Korean ball game. How about dried squid, and various fried snacks on long tooth-pick like sticks. Now you know you're at a Korean baseball game. Also, when your team is up to bat, you best stand up and get ready. It's time to dance and sing! They even have the cheerleaders and mascot running through the aisles charging up your already pumped state of mind.

I tell ya.. you'll be tired after one of these games. With all that dancing, hooping, and hollering, you'll work up a sweat. Drink up too, unlike at an America ballgame where they'll charge a fortune for some tiny pathetic cup of beer, these guys keep the prices down and the cups filled. 20oz of beer might cost you a buck fifty. Oh and did I mention you can grab a great seat for only 9 bucks?! Seriously MLB.. STOP RIPPING US OFF! That goes for all you Professional sports organizations back home. Take it from the Koreans, make your money but don't drive us broke in the process. 

Anyways... if you find yourself in Seoul and it's during baseball season, definitely a worthy adventure.
