baseball, birthdays & other bits

Time's a flying by now. It's been a whirlwind with Zac's visit, holidays, warm weather etc. Outside of work I've been trying to hang out and enjoy my time here as the months dwindle down and the weeks melt into each other.

Last Saturday I was able to go to a Lotte Giants baseball game in Busan. They played the "Something Unicorns", yes, Unicorns, what a name to take pride in. I haven't been to a baseball game in years, at least not a major league one (I don't think this is the equivalent to the major leagues...maybe??), not since a van full of the Koeman's went to a Tiger's game and broke down in the middle of D-town. awesome memories. The game was surprisingly energetic equipped with newspaper pom-poms, a random selection of chants and hollars, the wave, and little old women and men selling beer and baseball snacks (dried squid). I'm glad Aaron was there to teach me about the basics of this all-American sport, which I'm still pretty clueless about.

After the game we headed out for dinner and then to Gwangali beach to try and meet some friends who were out for a birthday party. Luckily we ran into another foreigner who brought us to the "only real happinen' spot in Gwangali" and our friends happened to be there!

Other than that, work is going well. My Aussie co-teacher is quitting (I'm kind of happy about this) and Scott, another friend from home, is coming early July to take her place. Things are shaping up and the summer's in full swing. 3 more months to go!!!
