I reached Germany yesterday afternoon abot 2pm because we missed our flight from Munich to Bremen. The 1st flight from Munich to Bremen was delayed by an hour or so, thus we did not have much interval time. Anyway, Bremen is 6 hours behind Singapore time. Am still getting used to the time difference because I slept at 4am Singapore time yesterday night! (was so shag!!) I have my own room here, in a hostel name I have no clue about about, but it is really nice! We do not need air conditions here because the weather is chilly-ly nice and at the same time sunny. It is somewhat like Australia, just that it is not Australia. The stadium and other locations are just 5 to 10 mins drive out from the hostel that we are living in. Yesterday afternoon the German coach that is in-charge of us brought us to the stadium. Because it was raining, we went to the indoor track to watch his athlete train. She is a 24 year old 100m hurdler who represented Germany in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She was the 12th qualifier there and is aiming to set a personal mark in the Berling World Championships this year by entering the Finals.

After the stadium we went to watch some carnival at the river side. (It looks so much like Clarke Quay.. With the river and the bridge thing. Only missing thing was the clubs haha) Saw close to 60,000 people there cheerig on a competition that was bring held in the river area. We left there then, for some grocery shopping and abit of window shopping at a nearby shopping mall.

The food here is not too bad. Today we had RICE for lunch. Quie surprising considering everything here is bread, red meat, potatoes and salad!

Other than that, nothing much has happened. My competition days are on the 5th, 8th and 16th of August. Though the 5th and 8th August Meets are not confirmed, the German coach has promised to help me find compeitions that will be helpful to me during these days. The 16th of August one is the Berlin World championships where I hope to see Usian Bolt and Lauryn Williams!! (Much excite!!!) The championships will be on tv, so hopefully you will get to see me running.

I cant wait to be back in Sg, as much as here is not as bad as I wished it would be. Dont ask why. I miss you all back in Sg :(
