Well i realised that the email method does work without a proxy in China, which is awesome. Anyway, talking about my last day in Sydney. Me, Dad and Jennifer took a Family Funday ticket on Sunday for just $2.50! I never knew this type of ticket existed :O Anyway, we took a train to Macquarie University and ate there and had fun. Then we took a train to Town Hall, and took a monorail around the city. It was actually pretty bad because it was really crowded and the air-conditioning didn't work. Anyway we took a train then to Circular Quay and took a ferry to Olympic Park and ended there...
Then I had dinner with Mr Mu, which was actually quite interesting.
The next day I would leave home at 8pm. We were quite late to the airport, and to make it worse, our luggage was too heavy and we had to resort our bags. We were actually quite close to missing the airport, with maybe another 100 passengers. The 9 hour flight to Shanghai felt a lot shorter than the one to Sydney, which was a good thing. Then we arrived in Shanghai, and then accidentally left a piece of luggage on the baggage claim, and had to do all this stuff to get it back. Then we took the late night flight to Beijing, which was really boring, because there was nothing to do. And then we arrived there and apparently I was about to suffocate breathing in the Beijing air. And yes, it was absolutely freezing coming out into -15 degree cold. And then we arrived home at around 1:30am the following day.
It was a long day at school on the same day...
Anyway, the Sydney trip was well worth it and it just felt great to get out of China for the first time in a few years.
Now with the tennis...
So last week was a real interesting week for women's tennis with Justine Henin coming back to the WTA Tour after a hiatus of 2 years. The Brisbane International final was held between Kim Clijsters and countrywoman Justine Henin. It was a really great final with the ending score as 6-3 4-6 7-6(6) with Clijsters winning the match and saving 2 match points at 4-5 in the 3rd set. However Henin was due to play in Sydney however because of injury, she will withdraw to save energy for the Australian Open next week.
Roger Federer had another early exit in Doha after being defeated by Russian Nikolay Davydenko, who then later beat Rafael Nadal in the Final. All of them are due to play in the Australian open next week.
