SUPER AWESOME BLOG ENTRY WHOOO!!!! ************** :DDDDDD..... by Mick Ryan

My team and i plan on getting to South Africa by Flying with Japan Air. We will take a private, non-stop flight to South Africa, Mangaung to be exact. It's most likely going tro be an extremely long flight, around 20 hours, so I just plan on sleeping the whole time. And if that doesn't work, i guess i am just going to have to find another way to keep myself entertained on the plane. To bad we cant play soccer on the plane. After the 20 hour long flight, we will head over to our hotel. We will be staying in a really nice 4 star hotel called Protea Hotel in Bloemfontein. It has a great reputation of friendly staff members, good dining oppurtunities, and just a nice looking hotel in general. It also has it's own spa, and 3 pools, which will really help me and my fellow team members relax. which I expect the people in South Africa to be very welcoming and polite, and i believe we will be very accomodated to. The people of South Africa are known to be pretty welcoming. Our first game will be match number 9 and it will be held in Mangaung on June 14, at 3:00 P.M. and it's against Cameroon. I will admit, i am a little bit nervous about our first game, but i believe that our team will prove to be the better team and i have a lot of faith in our team so far. Let's just hope all things go well.
