Ice Ice Baby

So here’s my second entry for this day and it’s about yesterday’s exhausting but cool trip to Harbin by bus full of Marcus’ colleagues and their girlfriends. I could have uploaded more pictures but I guess it would be too much so here’s my selection:

In the Audience

I am still feeling a little bit tired and sleepy from yesterday’s one day trip to Harbin but I am excited to post some pictures that are taken last weekend so here I am in front of my computer at this unusually early time of the day blogging and uploading pictures.

Let me start with last Saturday’s Asian Winter Games. Before we went there we have read and decided to follow the rules that were printed on the ticket thus we headed there with no bags, no food, and not even anything to drink so we were surprised when we learned that the rules were not that much observed by most of the people in the audience. Man, I could have at least gone there with something—like a bomb for instance.

Nevertheless, it was great. I was able to do something for the first time again with Marcus and that is watching an actual ice skating competition. But what really made my day was the fact that I have witnessed two Filipino contestants in this competition. Well they were not the greatest but they’re not bad considering that snow is not natural in the Philippines and that it was supposedly already “the finals”. So they made it to the finals. Not bad at all for tropical people.

Anyway, here are two pictures of us taken by the nice girl sitting behind us.
