Brazil Game Day in St.Petersburg
The stadium was crowded by Brazil ?? fans, they were so crazy and cheer for their team. Our seats are pretty good to watch the game, even see the play’s face. This is not the first World Cup game of me, but I still feel that was the first game. Not only because of the seats, but also the fantastic…
Free Ice Hockey Ticket
Got the ice hockey ticket from Tracy because the game organizers needed some fillers. I had to take off my IOC uniforms, and it was a cold night, but can’t say “no” to free ticket.
Canada House
in the Canada House with Tracy, the ticket cost me $25 and a beer cost me $10. A little bit expensive but definitely the house with the best decorations.

I kept annoying each of my friends with all my stories until they…
Friends made for life!
One of the good things I take back from my time in Olympics are all the people I made friends with. Now, I can proudly say that I have at least one friend from half of the countries around the world. I am sure I may not even see half of them in my lifetime. But I was able to…
