Universiade

From Warsaw to Taipei I got by plane, quite rare, I know. 20 hours of travelling and there i was. Finally i found some warm weather. After scandinavian trip its really nice to be continuously sweating...

Competition didnt go well. Got three wins and three losses in qualification group and then lost against a Polish fencer 11:15.... so i didnt arrive into 32. So my final result was 55-th place.
Team competition was not much better. As all of us made quite poor individual result, we got ranked bad... 17-th. First opponent was Taipei which was ranked 16 th, so it was the match to get into first 16 teams. We won, not easily but still.... And then, to get into first 8 teams we needed to fence against first ranked Poland.  Well, we werent too bad, but still we lost 40:45. It hurts, because they were actually beatable, deffinitely strong but not impossible.

When competition is over, its time to enjoy life a bit other way - outdoors. Climbing it will be! Long Dong beach is perfect for that. Some local climbers like Roger, Anny,, Peter, Tiger and many others helped me there and introduced me some nice routes. perfect 2 days.

getting back to Taipei

After climbing Roger introduced me a local street night market, where you can find different kind of local food. Much more interesting than Taiwaese food that they offer at athlete village.... no, im not complaining about food in village, I know that it need to be really safe and controlled and eatable for european taste, thats why it is so mild and a bit boring (but still quite good). I fell in love with sea food on this market.
