KIA Tigers Korean cheerleaders
I previously posted the head, male cheerleader for the KIA Tigers. Today I bring you the four female cheerleaders. This seems to be the standard for all of the pro baseball teams in Korea–1 male who does the talking and 4 females who do the dancing.
KIA K3 Home Run Zone (Gwangju, ROK)
I’m not sure if they will continue this tradition in the new Gwangju baseball stadium, but in the old stadium if a player hit a home run in which the ball hit the car beyond the stands in left field the player was awarded the car after the game. I was at one such game when Na Ji-Wan (나지완) hit the car. I asked the guy next to me if the car given to the player came with or without the dent, and he laughed.
Gwangju, South Korea
It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means…
assortment of schneeballes from Schneeballen found in the basement of a Korean department store (Lotte I think)
Beginning today, and for the foreseeable future, Tuesday’s blog entry will be Korea related.
Today’s pic is of some schneeballes from Schneeballen; these delicious-looking treats can be found all over Korea now. I saw these several times before actually buying one. I imagined something between a pastry and a donut. Instead, these “cookies” from Germany are closer to something between a fortune cookie and a stale collection of balled-up tortilla chips. Needless to say, I didn’t go back for more. They weren’t very sweet, and I felt like I was going to lose a tooth trying to eat one.
Employees @ Gwangju Airport wave goodbye to the planes
By the time this posts I should be in the air on my way back to the USA. I took over 5,000 photos while in Korea, most of which I haven’t even looked at yet, and only about 60 have been posted here so far. I’ll return to my more regular photos from Japan tomorrow, but maybe I’ll do a Korean Kayobi (Korean Tuesday) on the blog for the rest of the year or so with a photo from Korea every Tuesday.
Night View from my residence (5F) in Gwangju, South Korea
I haven’t noticed this in any other country I have visited, but in Korea, when the sun goes down and the lights come on, you can’t find a view that doesn’t include at least one lit up cross. Sometimes you can see several. Usually they are red, but sometimes they are white or blue.
