Lucchino: V 5-3
Nagy: D 4-5
Chinese Girl: V 5-4
Bethier: D 1-5
Vietnames Girl: V 5-2
It was a rough AND small pool, my only mistake being the stupid bout against Berthier. Last action against Nagy was all mine but i missed her arm (GAH!) on accident.
Fenced Trinh (Vietnam) and beat her 15-5 to get in the 64. Tomorrow I'm due to fence Kim from Korea (ranked 10). I'm optimistic, even though it should be tough.
Its about 85 outside right now, which is the coolest its been. When we were fencing today (oh my God), it was over 100 with a ton of humidity. I almost died warming up, because te warm up room was small and not air conditioned. Been drinking LOTS of bottled water!
The food is also a bit dodgy (as my brit friends would say). Everything thats not raw is deep fat fried! So, I've been eating a LOT of rice and found soem tofu today.
I got a ride from Lu-An, the translator on her motorbike to a portrait company for my pictures. They took all the moles and freckles off my face, wouldn't let me smile, airbrushed me way paler, tiled my head, etc. It was hilarious how they made me look as vietnamese as possible. Anyways, I should go since I'm stealing my friend's computer!! Love you all and I'll let you knw how it goes tomorrow.
PS. Bianco is always staring at me now whenever I'm around her. haha.
