Softball in Korea

What's an expat in Korea to do?  There's only so much Kimchi and grilled meat I can eat, sometime's we've got to get out and get active.  Last week a bunch of foreigners from all over southern Korea held a softball tournament.  It was almost surreal, sixty guys from all over the world, all who have basically the same job as ESL teachers, hanging out and playing softball.  I've been playing with a dozen or so people here in Pohang and so far it's been a blast.  How did we do?  We lost all three of our games and made a quick exit from the tournament.  Oh well, better luck next time.

Hey, that's me!  Love those white shoes.  

Daegu's a huge city, but far from the center, it turns country in a hurry.  We played on a field next to some rice paddies and a river.  Pretty spot just outside all the chaos of the big city.

My wife and her friend.  Every team needs a cheering section, here's ours.

Summer in Korea is basically toast.  We're on to fall now, which means cool weather and some seriously pretty fall foliage.  Can't wait to get out and take some pictures.
