After our 20-hour plane ride (the 14 hour being more enjoyable then the 6) we of course had to pass customs. Now they do have a dog sniffing, well we were expecting a huge german shepard with a spiked collar named Rex. what we saw instead was a beagle with a bandana... So Scary! So its going up and down the row sniffing our bags. Meanwhile Lena's feet are itchy so she takes off her colorfully painted shoes. Well the beagle litterally climbed upon her luggage to sniff her shoes!.
Okay so after the airport we headed to the Olympic stadium, i have to admit i was pretty disappointed... they removed the track! But the aquatic centre was awesome! besides the fact the pools were gorgeous, we spent the entire time in the hot tubs... but you see first we had to take this swim test to get on this coolio floaty thing but the line was too long so we ditched.Oh but the good thing about the stadium was i was able to stand on the actual first place platform from the olympics, now thats once in a lifetime! Then back to the hotel.
Tonight i am rooming with Natalia and Learice. After a very short break because our room keys didnt work, we went to the lizard lounge for dinner... wasnht the best. Its weird they tell us to try new food s but they aregiving us like bugers and fish and chips, but i am trying to try ANYTHING new. Afterward we went to the aquarium where i saw a duckbilled platypus and a seal that wanted to eat me, i woul dtell more but i have to cut to the chase. So when we got back to the hotel we were all very tired, so we tried to cram into the elevator instead of waiting. Then after the door closed we realized we had **16** people when the limit was 13. So the elevator began to ascend and dropped (not far) and this happened avout 3 times before it stopped. we were so f**ed. 16 people in an elevator not much larger then a simple bed. and i FREAKED. all i could think was "is there enough air?" "what if it falls again?" "we are in sooo much trouble" Finally the technition came and was able to get us out, but not without us droppinh several times.
Im not jet lagged at all because i got like 8.5 hours of sleep on the plane.
They have strange ketchup packets here that squirt all over me!
