We started our trip from KIX(Osaka) airport, actually I worried about weather, because typhoon No.11 was coming to Japan. (Finally it hit Japan) But our flight to Seoul on 9, August was no problem. We changed airplane at ICN (Seoul Inchoen) airport. That was night flight from Seoul to Seattle. We slept well in the cabin, because that aircraft had excellent seats.

We landed SEA airport around 12PM in Seattle time and then we went to the hotel near airport on foot. After checking in hotel, we went to Seattle downtown by light rail transit. It was probably 30 minutes ride from airport to downtown. Actually, we wanted to stay in downtown, but all hotels in there were really expensive. (About over $300, one night) Well, it's easy access to downtown by light rail, I guess. We walked around to see, Pike Place Market, some sports shop and department store.

Around 5PM, we went to Safeco field to see baseball game, Mariners against WhiteSox. To tell the truth, Japanese RHP Hisashi IWAKUMA was scheduled starter that day. And we bought the two tickets where was close field on StubHub website. However, McClendon, manager of Mariners changed the rotation. We missed the his pitching. It was too bad.
