It is the 15th of November and at noon, this year's Asia Series begins with a game between Italy and the Korean league champions. I would be surprised if Italy won although the Italians have got to be emotionally up for a game like this with a team from one of the 'better' baseball countries: the Korean league teams play a 128 game season.
Tonight, Taiwan's number 2 team plays the Rakuten Eagles of Japan. Taiwan plays some good baseball (although the league, consisting of only 4 teams, has a bit of a 'shady' recent past). Will I go for an afternoon game, come back to the hotel and then take another taxi ride back for tonight's game or will I spend the entire day there? Good question! It all depends on both distance from the hotel (I'm still not sure how far away the stadium really is) and the availability of taxis from the stadium.
Park City Hotel, a smaller hotel I found from the Agoda hotel site, is centrally located. It was easy to find from the high speed rail station even though communications between the taxi driver and me were 'limited'. The room I am in was recently re-done and the bath tub was very 'welcome', this morning for a half hour bath.
It is now 2-1/2 hrs before I depart for the stadium. Making the best use of time, this morning and the mornings over the next week are the immediate task at hand........and then......baseball!!
