The competition begins…

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Today the women’s team tournament begins!

We have played the first round so far, against DPR Korea and lost all 3 games :( We are in a tough group, A2, and we’ll do our best!

Let’s hope we’ll have better luck for the following games. Gambarimasu!

A visit to the WMSG

Monday, October 6th, 2008

We spent some time today at the WMSG, watching the games (only the first 20 mins allowed :( ) and cheering on the Spanish team. Go Spain!! :)

I’ve just uploaded some of the pictures. Enjoy!

Welcome to Beijing!

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

I will spend the next two weeks in Beijing: the first one sightseeing and the second one competing at the 1st World Mind Sport Games!

So far, the flight was ok and I arrived safetly at Beijing. However, arriving to the hotel proved to be much more difficult. Language is a real issue, specially when people don’t even understand the maps! If the map doesn’t have the names written with Chinese characters, the chance of a taxi driver understanding it is almost 0 :(

Anyway, after eating ramen in a Japanese restaurant I feel much happier and ready for the adventure :D

Wish me luck!
