On Sunday Marie, Tina, Steve and I went to the baseball for the first time in Japan! The baseball coach at school was able to get me 4 tickets to a game. It was held at Skymark stadium which is about 15 minutes out of Kobe but it was the opposing team’s home ground – the Orix Buffaloes. We joined a line close to a kilometre long and eventually made our way into the stadium. We had fantastic seats and it was a beautiful sunny day. It was such an exciting atmosphere there was a mini brass band playing for each team! We had a great day – had hotdogs, saw students from my school, let off balloons at the 7th innings mark, Marie and Tina bought baseball bat clappers and I bought a fan and we got on the big screen TV! but sadly the Hanshin Tigers lost 0-7! We hope to see another game at Koshin which is the Hanshin Tigers home grounds. It was such an exciting day and I look forward to my next baseball match!
