whoo hoo....we checked into the hotel today and finally got real access. its slow, but its better then what i was using earlier.
a lot of different countries are represented here. its crazy. who would have thought!
we got the schedule for our games. basketball has two pools. canada a and b are in seperate pools. we play tajikistan first game. followed by kenya and one of the two usa teams. from my understanding, all teams make the playoffs and go from there. games start on tuesday. zohebs team plays syria first game, then pakistan and then the other usa team. we wont play eachother until the playoffs...thats if we do play eachother.
the hotel we are staying at is ghettttttoooooooo. i think its a 2 star hotel in the heart of downtown nairobi...the dangerous parts. its really messed. kinda scary at the same time. the hotel doesnt have hot water all the time...great. cold showers are awesome before basketball. really looking forward to that in the AM. we had some good weather today. nice and sunny...like van city on a nice day.
for those that dont know about nairobi...there is no such thing as a middle class. there is high and low. its sad to see the low, but makes you appreciate what you have at home.
got lots to tell...will touch more on it tomorrow.
