@AmyHemmeter @6a726d Weird, only thing that shows up for me is the 17 hr greyhound on google maps. What’s the line called? (We ended up renting a car bc it’s so much cheaper but I’m curious for future use!)

Japanese baseball was a bit different than I was used to in the US. More fast-paced, more bunting, less weird animated condiment races on a big screen.
But perhaps the biggest surprise was that the Dragons’ mascot is a koala??? Why? #NPB #HiroshimaCarps #ChunichiDragons
