Chunichi Dragons vs Hanshin Tigers

I went to my first professional sporting event ever. And of all places, in Japan! My friend Jonathan had an extra ticket and invited me. So without thinking twice, I took him up on his offer. I learned some cool things about Japanese baseball: each team has a band that plays while they are at bat. Aaaaand, each player has their own special song the band plays. Another thing is, unlike American baseball, if a ball flys out to the crowd, a staff member comes and gets the ball back. I don't know why. My camera wasn't fully charged so I was only able to get a few seconds of footage.

Osaka Mexican Festival

I went to Osaka to their annual Mexican Festival on Sept 6th. I've been lazy about uploading video and pics but I got one done! We arrived there around 2pm and started to sample the food and beer (mostly beer). I had Texas BBQ, a tamale and some tacos. The food was alright. I was expecting the food to kick my ass in the spicy department but it was tame. At any rate, here is the video.
