Just back from Wales vs Ireland. Devastating. 22-10. Watched it in a Samoan bar, which took me two hours to find. Real estate agents are great for directions. But in the end it was a Chilean girl who was working in a mexican restaurant who walked me there.
First Irish encounter - a loud, obnoxious Limerick girl called Emma. Don't think she knew much about rugby, except being about to identify the Munster players. Clapped and shouted and generally intimidated the rest of the café. Destroyed the atmosphere. One Welsh guy. Better team on the day.
Think I got a bit too much sun yesterday. Forehead and left arm. Wandered through the park today. Saturday morning, so crowds out doing their choreographed dance, and the men sitting around tables playing some rapid variant of dominoes. After the match I drop by the museum of Yunnan province. Why do bronze sculptures hold my interest, but crafty shite bores me? Clothes, jewellery -I don't care whether it's past or present.
Skyped LC. She seems upbeat, taking each day as it comes. Skyped with CW also, she's off to Rome on Monday. I'm actually a little jealous!
