Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Koreans love America. I mean, why shouldn't they? The American dream, apple pie, and baseball. So, let's start with baseball. A professional game here is not like a professional game in the states. Let's first start with the food. Leave the cotton candy, hot dogs, peanuts, pretzels, burgers, and popcorn behind. That's right. Bring on the dried squid on a stick, kimbap, and seaweed. Don't forget the noodles and beer. The good thing is that you can buy all of this stuff and take it into the stadium with you, including beer & Soju. No hiking up the price and gouging you inside. Note . . . this is why I started with "Baseball" and not "The American Dream".













Once inside and the game is on, the atmosphere is more like a college football game. They have a team band for each side and cheerleaders. All the fans know all the words to all the chants and rev-em-up songs. And, there is no shame in grown men standing up and singing as loud as they can. We absolutely loved it! Now, we just need to get a cotton candy maker so we can take our own!
