4th day

Its now the 4th day in Taipei.

Yesterday I was sick at training, but nothing came out. I was physically and mentally exhausted afterwards and had to skip swimming in the afternoon to get as much rest as possible.
But today was a massive improvement, I felt much better than I did in the first 3 days.
Today training was good for all of the girls, we felt pretty good afterwards.
We are starting to understand how to play football in hot weather and the hard ground, I have yet used my studded football boots - only using my astro boots, mainly because of the threat of getting blisters.

We went to get our photo ID for the Deaflympics, of which we need to wear to competitions.
There has been a rumour that the opening ceremony tickets has been sold out, are we talking thousands and thousands of people going?! Knowing the Taiwanese (Chinese), they like to be extravagant. But people are saying that Jackie Chan will be there! Pretty awesome if he were!

Tomorrow should be a good day, as my father is coming in from the UK as he is a part of us. So it will be good to have him around.

Just signing off now, as it is 10pm here and I need my sleep ready for tomorrow's training.

Keep well everyone!
