some tidbits about Wang and Kartsens

Just in case,you guys don't know too much info about 37th baseball world cup.Taiwan is the host this year(2007).Games are hold in Taichung(台中) and Taipei(台北) which are two cities in Taiwan.You guys know Wang is so famous in Taiwan.During off-season,Wang almost stays at home all day except of going to gyms.Yesterday,Taiwan baseball team moved to Taipei to play against Italy.Of course,all media follow them to Taipei.Wang went to find Jeff Kartsens who is with team USA in Taichung(台中).Wang show Jeff around Taichung and buy famous local food to Jeff.They are having good time.Jeff maybe will be the starting pitching for team USA when they play against team Taiwan tomorrow night.Wang maybe show up the ballpark to watch that game.

P.S.Wang went to see Beyonce's concert in Taiwan few days ago and draw much more attention than other Taiwanese superstars.

Jessica,
Have you been able to attend any of the World Cup games?

No,I would like to have that chance.I am in Australia now.I watch all those games through internet and can certainly feel all excitement Taiwanese fans bring to ball park every night.Of course,they crazily root for team Taiwan.If you have a chance to watch the game from internet,you certainly can feel the different baseball culture between American style and Asian style.Of course,you have to choose the one against team Taiwan.That will have more fans to attend ball games.

Jessica,
I have never been able to travel much, but I would like to. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to see baseball – something I am familiar with – in cultures I’m unfamiliar with.

You should definitely try it.When I was in Los Angeles,I went to watch couple of Dodgers games with friends.That's pretty exciting experience for me.This is quite different baseball culture for me as a person used to Asian style of baseball.
