third day


Nothing much happened today.
Woke up after long hours of sleep,
skipping my dinner.
Had a sumptuous breakfast buffet in the hotel,
the only meal I had today.
Walked to the University of Calgary,It was supposed to be a 10 min walk from the hotel,
and it turned out to be another 10 min more.
Reached the conference venues only after a 30 min walk,
guess I would certainly slim down by end of the conference.
It was colder than yesterday, reaching the maximum only at 17 degree Celsius,
the strong winds kept howling though it was sunny.

Chanced upon the last day of the Canadian Open Volleyball Championships
at the Olympic Oval(a stadium which was built for 1988 Winter Olympic Games)
in the University Campus.
A huge stadium where uncountable volleyball courts were set up for this one-month Carnival.
Watched a game or two, experiencing the Canadians' volleyball fever.
Today was Victoria Day, a public holiday where shops were either closed or closed early.
Day tours were not even available and had just need to rest in the hotel.
Was happy that Britney Spears sang " Everytime" the moment I switched on the TV,
a song that reminded me of someone special.
