Lotte Giants Baseball Game

Today we went to watch a baseball game with our co-worker Iris and her boyfriend. Iris kindly bought the tickets for Ed's birthday. The game was The Lotte Giants vs. The Kia Tigers. The best thing about Korean baseball teams is that they are all backed by huge Korean corporations so they all have great names like 'The Samsung Lions' and 'The LG Twins'. We were supporting our Busan team the Lotte Giants. To get into the spirit of things, and look the part, before the game started we headed to the Lotte Giants merchandise store and Nina purchased a cap and Ed a baseball shirt. The game was really fun to watch, we had looked up the rules beforehand so understood pretty much what was going on! The crowd really got involved, with many mexican waves- and even a slo-mo one which looked awesome. The chants for the Lotte Giants were sung to the tune of classic western songs such as Donna Summer's Hot Stuff which we found quite amusing. At one point everyone blew up bin bags and put them on their heads, still not quite sure why but we joined in anyway. The game came down to the wire but thankfully Lotte Giants won! Hooray Go Lotte!
