After being at the Endo museum for an house we walked back to Asakusa and took two trains to get out to Sebu stadium. We had to find some seats which was hard as most of them had already been saved for others that came early or were saved as a place to keep ones bag. We found a nice standing spot and one seat so that we could take it in turns to sit down. Just before the game stated the man in the seat next to us moved his bags and allowed us to have two seats side by side. The game was very fun to watch, even though I didn't know all the rules and was a little confused by the scoring system (there we recording something that was not a home run but had something to do with the different bases players got to ). Listening to the different chants the supporters had and watching them all do the same hand gestures at the same time was grand. The moment when the pitcher throws the ball and you are waiting to see if there is going to be a run made is an intense moment and when the ball is hit and people can run it is very exiting. The game started off quite slow with the first two or three innings with no home runs, but after the aposing team scored the first home run it became more exiting as the Sebu Lions tried to catchup. There was one innings where the Lions got three home runs, which was very exiting! At the beginning of the seventh innings all the Sebu Lions fans that had being blowing up balloons during the bottom of the sixth, let them all go at the same time, so there were balloons flying everywhere making whistling noises. We watched the seventh innings and then left to catch the train back to the Endo Museum.
We spent another hour or so at the Endo museum and them went back to Asakusa to find dinner. We went to another little restaurant/bar and got to laugh at Japanese TV programs that were playing on a small television in the corner of the restaurant.
