  3. I'm sorry it's taken so long to post these, Korea gave me some mystery disease and I've been almost comatose in a fever dream for the last 4 days. Anyway, some pics from the Canada vs USA gold medal hockey game:

  19. Which is almost the case in the recent editions, isn't it? They should call it "Procul Omnia Circa", since apparently Latin makes it sound so cool.

  21. Height: 183cm Weight: 85kg In May last year that was nearly 100kg, then I got one of those indoor bikes and by early December I reached my goal of sub-80kg (79.6kg) Because that bike is in the garage (which is the same temperature as outside) I didn't use it for a bit and because of 4 meals a day during the Olympics it's gone back up to 85kg, but this month the way back to sub-80kg will start Not obese anymore then, I'd say

  22. Well, no, not really . There are similar games in other european regions (Wallonia, northen France, Valencia region...). There is even a world championship and an international game that mixes the differents disciplines. All of them and more (basque pelota, tambourin/tamburello... and, well, tennis) are sharing the same roots. None of them looks anything like this new baseball game though

  28. They use "urban" a lot. And one doesn't use an adjective often if they are completely fine with the opposite.

  29. As for the Curling Mixed Doubles match, they are currently having a problem with the video but it should be fixed in the next hours/days so it should be available soon at this link https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/playback/can-v-kor-round-robin-mixed-doubles-curling-pyeongchang-2018-replays/

  36. Anyways, I thought it'd be an interesting share: Former TISC winners Leon Somov & Jazzu decided to part ways after 12 years together in music. We toured with them at the "Game Over" tour, this is a picture from the final concert two days ago in Kaunas.

  37. As a spectator, I’ll do it from that angle: Favorite moments: Gold medal hockey game/finding a German fan club at the game 15k cross country Any short track event Biathlon women’s relay Actually being able to talk to people about biathlon in real life Starting pin trading Getting on the Today Show audience/meeting the US team on it Being interviewed by 7 Russian TV channels The events at Czech House Meeting the Eurosport biathlon commentators Getting Koshechkin’s autograph Randomly meeting like 5 exotic athletes Being able to use discounts I’m not really eligible for Disappointments: Opening ceremony- so freezing Buses- not enough in times of high demand, often waited an hour That I barely caught Ledecka’s medal ceremony (I ran in as the anthem was playing) The lack of atmosphere at some events Struggling to understand volunteers That I couldn’t resell tickets because I’m not Korean

  39. Just got back yesterday from Korea and will add pictures when I have a moment to put them on my home computer (working hard at my job now ) CAN v USA gold medal hockey game was exciting and never-raking. Not the outcome I wanted, but you can't get any closer than the 6th round of a shootout. Fans were fun, chatted with lots of people. Even met Cheryl Bernard, 2010 silver medalist in Curling! Men's curling semi-finals were good, too (saw 2014 champ Jennifer Jones, but she was running off somewhere, so no pic). Except, it's really hard to follow along without the overhead view. We were down close to the button, but it's really hard to tell what's going on with the stones in the house because of the angle. They would show one of the matches for 2-3 ends at a time on the big screen, so if the one I wanted (CAN v USA) wasn't shown it was hard to tell who was where. Again, not the outcome I wanted. Canada played horribly, and it was actually a really boring match, at least until the 8th end. The SWE-SUI game was much more entertaining. Again, the fans were great and chatted with lots of them. I also want to say the volunteers were great. From the train station to the city roads to the shuttles and entrances, security and venues, every single one was friendly and helpful. Many thanks to all of them! Having lived in Korea, I knew the transportation would be great and it was. However, the Olympic Park itself was a bit...sterile. There seemed to be very little atmosphere. I've never been to an Olympics before, but it seemed almost like a county fair, with temporary fencing in a parking lot, rather than a big event. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with any of it. I just expected... I don't know. More? There was nothing right outside the gate, for example. Just some new apartments (and older villas). We literally walked half a block down the road to a small kimbap restaurant and got food. Which is good, of course, considering the prices inside. I just expected the whole area to be in Olympics mode. But right when you walked outside the gate there was nothing (besides the shuttles). It was really cool, though, and I had an amazing time. I visited Canada House which was overpriced and busy, but fun. Saw lots more Canadian athletes and personalities there, including some of the women's hockey players (thought it was the wrong time to ask for a photo). I even ran into the Donald Trump and Kim Jung Un impersonators while waiting for my train back to Seoul! Pics to come.

  42. I want just give us a small spotlight about italian elections Last saturday was a very hard day for the italian politics.. all (!!) the italian left (that is divided in 3 main party since years) go do a demonstration in the main italian square against fascism in the all italian city. The main 3 party (PD, Liberi e Uguali and Potere al Popolo) they do not talk to each other and they hate each other Meanwhile, in Milan, the right coalition (again 3 main party, Lega Nord, Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia) do 3 different speeches. They are ally but they have very different opinions about their political program.. if they will win they will never rule together, they do not even agree on the presidential candidate (Berlusconi want the european president Tajani, Salvini and Meloni want itself). The Movimento 5 Stelle, the anti-establishment party, decided to go at Qurinale for gave the possible government ministers to President Mattarella, but it's isn't allow by the law and Mattarella decided not to meet Di Maio. In this week, in all Italy, we have clash and stabbings between extreme right and extreme left militants, some politicians were objects of violent assaults meanwhile in Turin and Perugia we had clash between law enforcement agencies and demonstrators... welcome back post-II World war In all this busy days, the official twitter account of the Polizia di Stato say that they're happy that amnesty international was in the various protest marches for monitor possible violence of the police becouse they'll finally see who is the real victim. All in Italy know that no anyone of the main politicians will govern alone becouse no anyone will have the majority in parliament and probabily will be very hard made a coalition... Funny days are coming
