Finals

During these days when the World Series were played in the US, the finals of the baseball league in Taiwan, known as the Taiwan Series, are also underway between the Lions and the Elephants. It reminds me of the Cheers episode in which they bet on the american football results. So, they follow more or less the timing of the american season.


It looks like there is always a baseball game being showed on television, but I do not know the teams, and there are only five or six. One of the teams playing in the finals is from Taipei and, a couple of evenings ago around 6:30 or 7pm, while we were having dinner in a restaurant near campus, there was a group of young people that had finished eating and were watching the game amid shouts, clapping and shows of happiness. It was not too exaggerated, but they are very noisy when they want to be.

If anybody cares, the series is tied 2-2 right now.
