RACE DAY 1
Breakfast place! Pretty
How I wish breakfast everyday is as yummmmyyyyy
I set off at 7.15am after gobbling down breakfast in 15mins. What followed was a brisk walk through the very cold morning air for 45 whole mins to get to the starting area.
Along the way taking pics of champas and champis, this couple asked me "Are you Singaporean?" (Mind you, I didn't speak a single word) And they said it's cuz I LOOK like one. Ooooh a first! :)
Random pics of nice places on the way up to the race site! Race pics are on fb!
2 random boys. The one squatting down kept asking me to take pics of them.
I sat in the teamcar for the first time during the sis' ITT race! And had a clear view of her moving red-white butt for 30+mins. It was rather exciting! To see everything. Congrats on getting a medal once again! Actually I didnt quite know what was happening when everybody was congratulating her. It was a "Wait, so what did you actually get?"
The roundabout on the way back. Nice!
I went to watch the sunset at Mekong River. Admist all the construction. I climbed over all the stuffs and trudged through everything to get somewhere near the bottom.
Saw some ppl playing some sort of game. Not too sure what is it.
RACE DAY 2
Now, since when did I become a "Mr."??
Seated on the shuttle bus from the Central Bus Terminal which brings us up to the National Sports Complex.
Activities outside the bus terminal
The busy road
The nice roundabout (another one) near the start and finish of the Mass start.
A random market I walked into just to see
The view from the place I camped at while waiting for the female race to finish.
Standing along the road
I sat the teamcar for the guys' 160km race! For abt 4hrs+. It wasn't boring at all! Except for some time when I kinda dozed a little haha. But yes, it was really cool to be in there! And to see all the 'action'.
After the race, went to the Games Village and got a Day Pass! Free milo, free water, free food. BEST! And then, we caught the shuttle bus from the Games Village down to Vientiane and I was a tour-guide for the night, bringing them to Joma! So glad they liked it hehe.
After so many days there, I still can't say I've mastered the art of crossing the roads. It really, takes, skill! But I think after 3 days, I'm getting there! Hehe.
Reached back to the hotel real late!
