new bball friends

i could really relate to the reading from the textbook where it talked about how baseball is played in japan. in the last few weeks i've been playing basketball with some new friends at halfacre. they aren't japanese but they are all first generation south korean-americans or korean native. they all know and speak english, some better than others. they play by the same rules for the most part but just some of the little things are different. i really enjoyed how they dont do any trash talking at all...or at least not in english. i have now became friends with them and have hung out with them just as friends. we are planning on hanging out one weekend soon and playing poker. i am looking forward to how they play that also.
