                                            Dear friends,
                                            I went to the final baseball game of the season last Sunday. The Taipei Elephants Brother were up against the 7-11 Tainan Lions. The Taipei Elephants Brother (yeah, the name has some weird plural thing going on) colors are yellow and black. The Tainan Lions colors are true to the 7-11 colors, orange and green (they took out the red).

                                            You can find more pictures of this event and the people I went with in this album. The Taipei Elephants Brother lost this time by one point.

                                            The stadium we were seated in is the largest in Taiwan. It holds 20,000 people, which is fairly small compared to U.S. sports stadiums. Some differences between American baseball and Taiwanese baseball:
                                            1) There is no 7th inning stretch like in America,
                                            2) Taiwanese snacks include hot dog, bento box (basically rice + meat + vegetables in a box), shrimp chips, and an assortment of Taiwanese snacks,
                                            3) The fans' cheers are all very organized and lead by some people in the front,
                                            4) The fans are incredibly loud, and
                                            5) There are cheerleaders to the side unlike in America where baseball usually has no cheerleaders

                                            Thank you Coach Bao for getting all of us tickets to the game. Selena, Katie, Kate, and I went with around 10 other people from my school. It was fun to watch the game and to also see my co-workers cute little kids!
