do you know which city is the team representing Taiwan from? Either way, let's hope that they make it here again! I'm excited to watch little league world series every year especially when our boys are representing! :)

Maybe, Taichung again? The boys from Taichung had a great showing last year. They pretty much beat Japan(the runner-up) last year but Japan managed to squeeze out a run scoring hit with 2 outs in the bottom of the last inning to send it into extra innings where it would go on for a while until Japan managed to hit a walk off hr. I wonder if Chao Min Wang can still play this year or is he too old? I wanna see Taiwan take home the championship this year!
