Sport!

29 07 2011

Since I have arrived in China I have been watching again lots of sport!

I don’t have any TV at home and I usually do not use sopcast or similar because my internet connection is not that fast, but either in hotels when I travel for practice Aikido or in several bars when I go out in the evening, there is often chance to watch some sport!

And I enjoy almost any sport on TV, even more if there is the Italian national team playing.. even more if like yesterday evening, I could watch again the water polo team win the semi final against Croatia! I always loved watching water polo, such an amazing sport! And even more when Settebello was the top of the tops!

So now I am wondering where I could go tomorrow afternoon to watch the final match.. because, as my father said, for once I have no problem with the time zone, not like watching South Africa football world cup!!

Sunday 07/24, during my weekend in Hangzhou, a weekend full of grief for Norway and sadness for China, my dear friends 王天 and 王丹 took me to visit a temple close to west lake. It was an Aikido weekend, but since in summer Hangzhou gets very warm, we plan quite late sessions.
