Beijing Day 1

Early wake up but late arrival today at the olympics village, as all the taxi drivers are not able to into the restricted zones. We first of all decided to take a morning walk to the destination, but after an hour, we still couldn't visualize the olympics village. Something must be wrong. Therefore, we took the taxi there. We could enter the restricted zone but we fail the show our passes. That took another half an hour.

Walking around the department, it's more or less expected. The only unexpected thing was that we are going to work as an artisan. There will be a prescription from the doctors, or Dr Fu, then we use the electrical modalities for the treatment. There are cryotherapy, microwave therapy, short-wave diathermy, laser therapy, shockwave, US, IFT, TENS and integrated electrical stimulation. Hydrotherapy is like a whirlpool. The big sink consists of little holes for the air to blow out, which creates the current for massaging effect.

Uniforms are distributed to us already. The pair of shoes is surprisingly fit to my feet. Shirt is a little bit too large, and pants are a little small. But it's all good as long as it doesn't make me look like a weirdo.

I start to worry that I am going to gain some pounds right here. By looking at my body during shower today, I guess I am starting to pay for the heavy meals I had last week: steak, salmon, steak, salmon......

Can I work out a little? Eat less, you can do it!
