We headed to Gwangju which took us a little over an hour by bus which cost about 6$ each. Before the game, we stopped into a small grocery store that stocks up on goods for foreigners. Its called "'The underground" as it has many things from London, England.....and their subway is called...the underground. We picked up some red wine vinegar to make our salad dressing. Also picked up some Campbell's soup and some dry mustard...things we cannot find at Mokpo grocery stores.
Made it just in time for the games. $6 tickets and you can pretty much sit where you want. We had pretty good seats:
It was an absolute gorgeous day, and the temperature lately has dropped significantly, sitting in the low 20's.
Of course we had a couple beer at the game. Who could resist a good Hite in a can...right girls?
The beer was good. Others ventured and tried some of the local ball game treats. No popcorn, peanuts or chips here (well...there were some, but)....how about some good old dried squid....yum...I can still smell it from one row up behind us. Go Chris!!
Despite a small crowd being there, they were pretty into it. Always chanting and pounding their blow up sticks.
Luck was also on our side. Hugo picked up a ball from a foul ball that bounced and landed really close to us. After the game was done, I scored a baseball bat. Random act of kindness from a guy with his girlfriend. He had the bat and I commented on how nice it was....he gave it to me and would not take it back. Nice!!!
Good times. Can't say we are having any problems getting around, and of course finding fun things to do with some good people. I mean, look at our sad faces:
We got home around 1am as we did not want to pay to spend the night....and wanted to wake up in our own bed on Sunday morning. The game went 11 innings, with no score until the 11th, when the Tigers scored a run. We had a good time....great bunch of people we get to hang around with. Until the next post....goodbye!
