東芝のやきゅうー Toshiba Baseball
Toshiba`s baseball team is in the corporate league championships, and yesterday I attended one of their games. It was held in the Tokyo Dome, a huge indoor baseball stadium located in the heart of Tokyo. At the entrance they handed out towels, fans, and jerseys to everyone to transform the audience into a sea of red (Toshiba`s color). The crowd was energetic as always at baseball games, and the cheer squad had really fancy routines and props this time. They even held up props that resembled a Shinto shrine at one point. Toshiba won the game, so they will continue to compete this week.





After the game, I went to dinner with a group of Toshiba people.  We ate at a Korean grill restaurant. There are burners built into the table with grills over them, and the waiters bring out plates of meats and vegetables so you can grill your food a couple pieces at a time. In Japan there seems to be an abundance of different types of restaurants where you get to cook at your own table, which makes eating out here always a fun experience.
