Japanese Baseball

Mark really wanted to experience a Japanese baseball game. We weren't sure if this was going to work, but the Takahashi family made it happen. They talked to a friend that is a big fan of the team in Sapporo. The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters! It was awesome. Some things that were different than in the US. 
- The respectful culture carried over to the field and there were no boos, or negative yelling from the crowd
- They had a song for each player, which included his name, that they sang each time the player was at bat

Taking the subway to the Sapporo Dome


I have no idea what this says, but it looks pretty cool!

The show during the game. Quite different than in the US

Most people had these balloons that they shot off. Pretty cool to see.

Adriana was asleep when we left because of the jet lag, but other than that it was a great experience!
