meichu games ~ baseball&basketball

All I did today was watch sports matches. I woke up at 11:30, to go see the baseball [棒球] game between our school and NTHU. It was pretty exciting because the game was a tie 2-2 in the last inning, but we scored 4 runs in the extra inning! Yay! So we won 6-4 in the end =) =).

Taiwan's organized cheering team

the dog also wanted to watch the game =) btw. there are a LOT of stray dogs in Taiwan fyi

and we won!!

Right afterwards, we went to grab some snacks and then went straight to the basketball [籃球] game. The thing about some of these indoor games is that you could get tickets beforehand the week before, or on the day of the game. If you want to get a ticket the week before, you have to go wait in line starting from 7:50am (which is when I went) or else you would not be able to get a ticket at 12:30pm. I don't think I would be able to do that again haha. The day of is even worse. People go and wait at 11am maybe for a 6pm game. I'm amazed at what people do to watch these games. It was pretty exciting though. The girls team won by almost twenty points!

"kill the frog!" the school uses a pun with NTHU's name Tsing-Hua: it sounds like tsing-wa/青蛙 (frog). So we need to hit the frog [打青蛙]

I then spent lots of time updating my blog after I got back to my dorm.
