FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (Zhong Dian)

WE WENT back to our favourite place, the Harmony Inn, in old Zhong Dian and dumped our bags with our host Sharlene (Shau-lin).

We wanted to listen to the Sydney Swans v Geelong Cats AFL game on triple-M internet radio. The first place we tried had its internet disabled - the second was busy.

By the middle of the second quarter we found a place that could do it. It turned out every other expat was also listening to this game as well. We saw a few of them in the other internet cafes we passed watching the silent broadcast of the scores. Sydneysiders everywhere! We ended up getting a connection to a Melbourne Internet Radio broadcast of the game - this came with the dubious privilege of commentating by Rex Hunt - Yibita Yibita.

No yak-cheese today - for dinner whilst listening to the game we ordered burgers and cokes. Listening to the swans score the two winning goals in the last 3 minutes was spectacular.

Jo was very impressed that the Swannies won. She reminded us of this fact all the rest of the night.
