The meals are at a cafeteria type place at the gymnasium. Today for lunch was sausages (aka hot dogs) with rice in a creamy, orange type sauce. DISCUSTING!! not my style of lunch I would say. Dinner was tacos which was a little more of what I am used to because I was so hungry I ate 3 tacos! yummy.
The gym is very old school with the shot clock set to 24 seconds and a 8 second back court. It speeds up the game that much more with that time difference. After 4 team fouls, you go to the line and shoot 2 free throws regardless. There are no bonus one in one's after 7 like in the U.S. The old school scoreboard that is at this gym displays each player's number and the fouls that they commit. There is no points displayed like some boards do.
So after our game, we showered, got some delicious Swedish candy (OMG!) and went to the city center cinema to watch the semi-final World Cup Basketball Champions game: U.S. vs Lithuania. U.S. won of course (if you didn't know). That was quite cool because the place was packed and it was like watching a film. We had our candy and were watching basketball together! Cheers.
Oh breakfast. Oh my gosh breakfast is quite delicious here. There is bread, bread, and more BREAD! Our lunch (sandwiches with turkey, cheese, salami, and other meats) is their breakfast sandwiches here. There was so much to choose from and I instantly became overwhelmed.
It is starting to get cold here: like the changing of fall to winter. A Swedish saying was told to me today from a fellow teammate: "Its not bad weather here. Just wearing bad clothing." So apparently if I think its cold, its because I need to wear better clothes. ha
