What do you guys is the fair price for a participation medal from a major multi-sports games (not Olympics or YOG)? I have my eyes on one, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. It seems like a really cool piece of history to own, so I’m just curious what y’all think. 

 

Come to think about it, I think I've never seen one for Asian Games 2018. I remembered they have a participation medal at the test event, though.

 

There's also a somewhat rare souvenir coin presented to VIP guests, which price is about $30 - $40 in online marketplace.

There’s a lot of things that you just don’t find in circulation. I’ve noticed in general that their isn’t a lot available from Jakarta/Palembang.

Looking for something on Google I found an article with the date of 2nd December 2020 (that's how it was written - with the month in letters). Surprised I started wondering, what will happen in the future. Click on it and see something I've already seen somewhere in February. Looked at the date on the website - 12/2/2020.

 

FUCK YOU, 'MURICA!!!

 

Yeah, month-day-year makes zero sense. It's like naming the time in a minutes:seconds:hours format or something.

 

Then again, it's the US, we shouldn't expect better :p

We broke away from the tranny of the European date system. It’s the real reason we fought the War of Independence.

PS. Yesterday I was with my father in Lidl and he was looking for a beer - I found him last fourpack of Zlatý Bažant in a special price.

I checked - sorry, I've been mistaken, it wasn't Bažant, but Žatecký.

 

But I found Bažant too - regularly 3,99 for 0,5 l, which is less than 1€.

Ah I see, well, I was first surprised to read Bažant in Lidl, to be honest :p Anyway Žatecký is a Czech beer :d

 

Not so very different then, here it varies from 0.45 to 0.70 EUR per 0.5l bottle or can,  :)

    • That was known from the start for  and will be planned for.   Sadly just the reality of sports in North America. Canada and the US are both huge, a flight from Vancouver to Halifax or from Seattle to Miami is north of five hours. Every sports league in North America has to deal with this kind of travel logistics on the regular, so none of this will seem particularly unusual to a North American player.
    • That’s not a long distance, it’s barely a 2h flight and there is no difference in timezone. Easily doable for fans as well.
