My Prince

Already a little way in to the Games, I can say we are doing quite allright. We had an awkward loss against Hungary to start with but made up for it with a quite decent game against Greece. Today we had an okay game and really should have left Australia behind, but for some reason we didn't seem to be able to shoot the ball into the goal on the other side and you could say this is a quite crucial flaw if you want to win a game! I would have liked to have made a difference in all this but I have not had any pool time yet so for now I'm still watching and cheering from the sideline. Feels like a shame of being so fit but oh well...

Yesterday we had visitors. Guess who? No? Well; our Prince Willem Alexander and his Wife Maxima came to our apartment and happily chatted about thier kids fighting over their seat in the bicycle trailer our games, the rest of their program and so on. Seriously, they are very nice people! And as to the question who was babysitting: well his mom of course! (aka: the queen) Fun stuff!

Meanwhile I have been entertaining myself with a chinese lesson, and am now stumbling over funny sounds and wishing people good morning in the evening and saying excuse me instead of you're welcome, which causes a lot of laughs mainly emongst the cleaning people in the morning. So maybe I'll stick with Ni Hau for now.
