This weekend Marie-Eve and I went snowboarding/skiing again. At one of the hills - Yong Pyong (the city Vancouver beat out for the 2010 Olympics), they were having the Interski Congress - it's like the world cup for ski instructors for all over the world, held once every four years. So there were teams from all over the world - Canada, Montenegro, Italy, GB, NZ, Slovenia, etc. To name a few. Marie-Eve knew a bunch of the Canadian team so we spent some time hanging out with them, which was cool. Also the American team wasn't there on account of it being Korea and security problems (quel suprise!). On Sunday morning we got to see the opening ceremonies, which were a bunch of Korean dancing, drums etc. And each team doing one run down the hill doing synchronized skiing. Very cool!
Anyways back to my original point, we spent the night in a hostel. And this isn't the first place I've stayed that thinks a good ambient sleeping temp. is about 30 celsius. No joke! It was like trying to sleep in a sauna. And Koreans seem to just think this was great. I think I got about 2 hours of sleep for the night!
