Jia Mu Si Tournament - Day 3

Well, we have our own version of Bill Murray’s “groundhog day” going here. The same schedule today as yesterday and again the next three days. No matter what we try the outcome seems to end up the same.

We played much better for two periods (2-0 after one, 5-0 after two), but in the end the result was the same at 10-0. We have to readjust, try some new things and get through 3 rematches before heading home on Saturday.

Today was a pretty typical day. Lots of downtime, no banquets, pretty cold outside. I did manage a walk down the street to the small “convenience store” to get a few bottled waters. The lady recognized me from the other day and was very nice. The bottled water in her store is the cheapest I have found yet at 1 Yuan for a 600 ml bottle (about $0.12 US).

A couple of pictures from the Jia Mu Si rink, the first is the view from the goal judge chair, not really the best seat in the house and the second is Shi Yao and Tang Liang stretching before the game.
