Durham Bulls Baseball

My parents said, when you're in Rome; act like a Roman. So when I'm in the states, I should act like a good home-grown-sport-loving-fan. Well.... at least I gave baseball a chance!


It was organized by IBC, the International Business Club, the club that makes every effort to make us feel at home =)
They eveb made us read a wikipedia link and some materials on baseball in the email circular.

So we charted a bus and head to the next town in Durham for the game; I get to ride with Dane and Robert on Dane's car, hehe!! Apparently it is a triple A league game (1 level below the top tier competition/ or 1st division if u watch EPL)

Well, I'm gonna save a few thousand words with the following pics.


The stands


Scenes during the game


Burgers, hotdogs, fries and beers.... The american way!


The durham bull , the head actually moves about when the home team hits a Home Run!




I love the outlets just before u enter the stands. Hotdogs, burgers n fries served with beers in a typical American fashion! I of course, got my fish n chips after being deprived of fish (dun count cat fish) for 2 weeks. And that little entrance-door thingy feels like a scene from The Gladiator!

2 cents about baseball:
It is a pretty boring game though, it is slow and it plays out until e end (ie, no time limit like in soccer/ basketball etc). Thr are 5 minutes of entertainment in btw strikes. I guess it is a family thing (too boring liao, must talk). we of course, pretty much had a great time gettin to know each other a lil better (muz talk!Rmb....)
