Before I start off today's blog, I'll let you know about the dramas that unfolded last night.
Dan and I were happily doing our bits, getting our meals for the day sorted, in-between managing York and Woking on Football Manager in bed. I was making myself some noodles, while Dan was making some toast to accompany his cup of tea. All was well.
Suddenly, I heard a screech. Dan had spotted a massive cockroach climb out from behind the cupboards, and it crawled down by the kettle.
Being the absolute hero that I am, I spotted the bug killer, grabbed it and sprayed the life out of this beast, leaving it, soaked, upside down on the floor. Its at that point that I grabbed my noodles and we both headed to the room, and locked ourselves in.
Now for today. We spent most of the night playing Football Manager, so we didn't go to bed til lateish. Still feeling jet-lagged, though, we managed to sleep in up until around 3pm, when we were pretty much forced to get up, as we had to leave at 4.
While we were getting ready to go, we also met Simon, who was the guy living with us. He was a nice guy, just a few years older than us, and had been in Bangkok with one of the elite teams playing in a tournament over there. He was taking us to the bus stop, where we would meet Daymon and head to our session.
Our session was at a place called UWCSEA, which stands for United World College of South East Asia. The pitch was a gorgeous, rooftop, 3G pitch. It was a dream. I was really looking forward to coaching on here.
Unfortunately, just as we were about to start coaching, the lightening sirens went off, and no one was allowed on the pitch. We managed to get in about 10 minutes of game time later on, but it was called off due to torrential rain and loads of lightening, it was a nightmare. The whole session got called off after that, which was a shame, but to be fair there was no chance of any football being played in that.
Dan, Simon and I made a mad dash for the buses, to avoid the rain, but it took about an hour for the bus to arrive, which was a pain. Turns out the lightening meant that loads of buses weren't running, which I guess is understandable.
Got home, Simon went back to the apartment to get ready to go out and meet his girlfriend, while Dan and I grabbed some food and prepared ourselves for a night full of Football Manager mayhem. Should be decent!
