olympics diary.... FIELD HOCKEY~



back from beijing... and back to my final week of work....




more shit stories from work... but lets not dwell on the shit parts of this wonderful week~ haha




i had a few random people wanting to take photos with me in beijing.... purely because of what i was wearing.... 2 flags.... a korean and an aussie flag.... one as a cape.... one as a skirt.... (depending on which events i was watching).... and i was wearing a LA hat.... so some guys from perth said i was 'confused'.... i'd say its just 'identity crisis'.... sounds more sophisticated~ haha




i watched the australia vs netherlands hockey match... was AWESOME~~ got totally drunk before the game.... and by the end of the game, i was so pumped and confused that i had an awesome time.... haha


most of the events were half empty (or half full).... and that was coz so many people were trying to scalp tickets.... the tickets were originally sold for around 30~50rmb.... but the scalpers were trying to sell them for 2000~6000rmb.... which meant that most chinese couldnt afford it... and also there were so many cops stopping scalpers that in the end, we had empty stadiums....


luckily for the hockey, the people who were monitoring the entrance were piss weak and had no idea... so most of the people sat together in their groups of fans.... actually, i found out that i didnt even have tickets to the aussie game.... i had tickets to the germany vs spain game... but i just walked into the aussie game....

after watching the korea vs spain game, i also just walked over to the other stadium.... while i was walking over, i changed my red shirt to a yellow shirt.... changed my korean and aussie flags... then told the ticket people i left my ticket inside and i came out to get beers.....
i got in~~~ watched the aussies vs the poms too~!!! haha
so i had tickets for 2 different days at the field hockey, but both days, i ended up going to both hockey stadiums watching korea and australia, and i also got a big, orange, inflatable hockey stick (that looks like a candy cane) from one of the dutch chicks at the stadium.....
the total price paid for all of this.... 2 x 30 rmb = 60 rmb.... not even 10 aussie bucks!!! sweeeeeeeeeeet~~
