Coming to you from Sofia, Bulgaria. Since you probably don't know much about Sofia, let me fill you in. It's the capital of Bulgaria, has about 1.2 million people, and I learned this evening that the origins of Sofia go back 7000 years, before the Roman, Thracian, and Ottoman Empires all claimed it. One can very clearly see the Communist footprint as well. Here is the view from our hotel:
The gyms we have practiced in have been...interesting.
<<<< Note the rusted bars and broken chairs mere feet from the baseline. Hope our phsyio had tetanus handy.
Also I thought this logo was weirdly sexual. Tell me if I'm wrong. I've watched a good bit of women's basketball, and never have I seen a player in this position.
A little anecdote: a few under-18 national teams are also playing in Bulgaria, including the country of Qatar. A player from Qatar (he was wearing the shirt) walked onto the elevator and we made friendly small talk with him about his games so far, how old he was, etc... We were all wearing our Israel shirts as well, so one of my teammates asked, "So do you guys like us in Qatar? We're nice people I promise." The question hit his facial expression as hard as a Tyson uppercut. He got off on the next floor, which I'm sure wasn't the right one, after apparently losing his grasp on the English language. Ah well.
That's about it from Bulgaria, we shall see what Montenegro has in store (flying there Monday after our game Sunday night).
Since Jimmy had been away for a while, he has had the pleasure of viewing an absolutely astonishing number of spectacular snapchats. For a while, as evidenced here, Ali Mackay positively dominated the creative snapchat game. However, recently up and coming challengers have been gunning for Mackay's kilt crown. Mackay refuses to go down without a fight. Here is his some of his work since the last blog:
An impressive repertoire to be sure. The first challenger was none other than Clinton Mann. His work speaks for itself:
Perhaps not quite the quality of Mackay, but the passion is there. And most recently, none other than the Mayor of Davidson, Steve Rosstier entered the fray. Not accustomed to losing, Steve will surely be a contender despite only entering the competition this week.
As we can see, Rossiter seems to prefer the snap to be timely, and clearly is not afraid to be risqué. Clearly, this blog is less about me, but more about sharing the genius of my friends when they have time and a fantastic app. One more, for good measure, my brothers:
That's all I got. Here is your fix of entertaining links:
