What did you do in the summer break, Connor?
Hey all, Connor here again;
Mid-July was finally the start of the Summer holidays, but also the start of a strenuous schedule for all the students who take part in the soccer club!
As there were no classes, we were often playing 2 games per day, or training twice a day. It was exhausting; particularly in the incredibly humid heat of Japan that regularly hit the 35C mark. Drinking water was the most satisfying thing in the world!
In mid July I went home to see my family and have my braces taken off. It was amazing to see my friends again and have English back on signposts, books etc. Also, being able to eat a big steak was wonderful.
The backs of Manchester United stars Ryan Giggs, what looks like Nemanja Vidić and possibly Phil Jones among the coaching staff.
Also, during my time back in Sydney, Manchester United were touring and I happened to play some golf with them by complete chance!
I also attended the State of Origin, which is a Rugby League Series between the state of New South Wales and Queensland!
