Baseball game in Gwangju

Hey Everybody!

Beside telling all of you, about my first journey to Korea. If you would like to read it, then it's right here ---> https://steemit.com/life/@jinxz/my-first-journey-to-south-korea

I would like to share with you, some of all the other things I do now, while I live in Korea.

A couple of days ago, I went to a baseball game with my boyfriend and 2 of his friends, who are big KIA Tigers fans. So we went to see KIA Tigers against Doosan Bears and even though it was the second day they were playing against each other, there was still many people. Most of them was of course sitting down in front, were all the entertainment was.

I don't know if you already know this, but really many people in Korea loves baseball and this was my first time to watching a baseball game. It's not that popular in Denmark, mostly we just play football or our national sport handball.

It's still about 34-38 degrees in Korea, but lucky the game first started at 6 pm, so the sun was nearly down. But it was still really really warm and the game lasted 4 hours, so we chose instead of sitting far down. We chose more up, so we could get more of the wind and cool down a little.

I have heard a lot about watching baseball in Korea, about how many things they do while they are playing. Like have competitions for the fans, so they can win many things like merchandise from KIA Tigers(Who is from Gwangju) or headset, phone or many other things. Some of the competitions, was like if you had the right number on your ticket or guess the right number to the a safe and so many other things.

There was also a host, who was staying together with the cheerleaders and mascots. All of them dances together with the fans or made the fans sing together, so the players really could hear how much they were cheering for them. I felt really bad for the mascots and couldn't stop thinking about how warm it must have been in that clothes. What really surprised me and what I thought was amazing, was that every player had a song. So when it was that players turn, they would sing a song for that player.

But after 4 hours, many competitions, many foul ball out to the fans and the really warm weather. The KIA Tigers won over the Doosan Bears, but unfortunately it was not enough to get them to the top 5.

But I still had a lot of fun and thought it was an amazing game!
