So I finished my first day covering women's hockey. It turned out that I wasn't needed so much as a runner, so they had me AD the first game! I was very excited because it's something I am interested in and it would give me more experience. I sat beside the producer in the control room and I was very nervous. Since it was the first game and we didn't know what to expect, we had to wing it for parts of the game. I felt I did a pretty good job! Besides counting down the show, I also photocopy and hand out team rosters and runsheets, I help the producer out with anything he needs, and I make notes so we can improve each game. I have met many new people, some from France, some from Kazakhstan, many from England, and of course people from all over Canada.
Tomorrow is my day off, so the girls are going out shopping. I can't wait to see what I can find because there are many interesting things here. And if anyone has been to the pacific mall in Canada, it's a lot like the malls here.
Since being here, I appreciate a lot more of what I have back home. Most bathrooms, you need to pay to use them, also the air here isn't as clear as it is back home. It's very smokey and smells like car exhaust everywhere which is giving me a sore throat! The military also goes through our hotel rooms and the rooms we use at the arena which is kind of scary, but the Kazakhstan people are very nice and they seem very interested in what it's like in Canada.
I read my comments this morning and it means SO much to hear from everyone, I really appreciate it.I'm still keeping my eye out for Borat, but haven't found him yet!
Oh yes, and did I mention the vodka ranges from $4-$12 american? :)
