Baseball in Taipei

I've always wanted to go to a baseball match and I finally got my chance today. There are four professional baseball teams in Taiwan and luckily they were playing on the Sunday after we arrived on Saturday. 


The team of Taipei are known as the Fubon Guardians!!!! We were worried that we wouldn't get tickets but turned up in the hope they were on public sale. Luckily the stadium was only 5% full so there were plenty available.

Considering how empty it was, there was still a really good party atmosphere. There are cheerleaders trying to get the crowd to sing the whole time which was strange. 



There was lots of other weirdness with people dressed up as cartoon caracters and dancing like they were auditioning for something.



It was an enjoyable afternoon. The game lasted about three hours and the Fubon Guardians won. I also got to see home run!!!!









At the end of the game the team came and cheered us. It was a very nice way to spend an afternoon.
