| Will there be any games in the middle of this month, or do they start in April? Has anyone been to a Korean baseball game? How was it? |

| It's fun; they have cheerleaders. No hot dogs, though. |

Yes there is. Ajummas carry them around on their heads, in baskets along with chips and dried squid(I'm not kidding) Best thing is, the beer isn't much more expensive than if you bought it at a Family Mart.
Try finding those prices for beer at a ballgame back home. |

I just found the schedule online - looks like the first game is April 4th. Lame. I was hoping to take my husband to a game, but he'll be leaving a week before that.  |

| There should be some exhibition games before then. If so, they're free entrance. But nothing is open, so bring your own food and drink. |

WBC begins this weekend. Korea has one of the best squads out there.
Instead of hot dogs just find a chicken place near the stadium.
I started getting into the Lotte Giants last year. Got me a couple of their jerseys.
Wonderful energy at Korean baseball stadiums. |

| Korean baseball actually is rather fun. They of course play a lot of small ball and some would say they play it way it supposed to be play. They are not these juice pumping prima donnas 100 million dollar babies. They actually bust thier balls, literally. |

| So I got all the info for the exhibition games or whatever... I guess they are happening at two stadiums - Jamsil and Mokdong. Are there lots of bars/hofs near both of them, or is one better than the other? Since there won't be refreshments, I'm thinking of heading there early so we can get our drink on. |
