"Live the Cover!" Contest: Thailand

Great Travel Moment

This picture was taken at a baseball game in Busan, South Korea. At first, it seemed like a fairly typical ball game with fans in Busan Giants gear, beer and food vendors, a Jumbotron and all the trappings. Then the cheerleaders came out. And the techno music came on. And the crowd broke out into choreographed dance moves. Then came the craziest thing of all. About halfway through the game, people came around and passed out orange plastic grocery bags. For trash? Certainly not. Looking around the stadium we realized what the bags were really for...filling them with air, and tying them to your head. The crowd was cheering and dancing wildly, and now they had bright orange bags on their heads. It was totally and completely ridiculous...but when in Korea...Best foreign sporting event ever.
