My day at the rink

Today I spent the day at the rink watching some of the games, so don't get too excited... this wont be long. 

I was the goal judge for China vs. Japan, it was an exciting game and Tara who was the referee was dead on with her calls. I thought she did a great job and so did her two linesmen, the most amazing of all was the goal judges.
 Sitting in a tall chair with protective plastic all around me i did the most work off all the officials... i pushed a button! When that puck crossed the line, i was the one, the most important one to let everyone know in the whole arena that YES it was in fact a goal! I even had a back up red flag incase the button malfunctioned, i could have waved my little red flag high in the air so everyone could see it. When i lit my little red lamp with the button, it made me feel so proud to be a goal judge! ha ha, and of course you know I'm joking about being so amazing and important with this task, i just don't know what else to write other than it was an exciting game and they went into overtime and game winning shots. Japan won and China was pissed. The arena was pretty packed and very loud every time China got the puck, and went crazy when they scored. All in all, good game. Now I'm cold...

So that was pretty much all i did today! Tomorrow should be much more exciting, we have no games because its our day off. We will be going to the tiger park to drive through a safari type thing and watch them eat live animals right in front of the bus. I bet i will have very "nice" pictures from that excursion. Until then, Good night!

I took some pictures of the city of Harbin and posted them on my picture page, here is a little smoggy taste of them.
