Pictures are scarce....



We didn't have an official photographer on this trip with us and the girl who was going to take pictures was drafted to the team that usually played before us so she couldn't take pictures. I hope that over next couple of days the people from Xiamen will put their pictures online where i can look through them. 
The first picture is me just after getting chased down on a break away run. This run put us very close to the goal line which resulted in one of my teammates scoring our only try of the tournament. For some reason we can only score a single try when we go to tournaments. The next picture is at the end of the day and team is making there best tiger poses. fun, fun....

Xiamen

This past weekend we had a rugby tournament in Xiamen.....it is on the coast close to Taiwan. It is the longest running rugby tournament in china and we played on the eldest rugby field in china.  Now, for those who don't know, each teams always comes up with a theme that there group. So our theme was awesome facial hair. That is why I have been posting pictures on Facebook about my hair.  We did tons better i is tournament then when we went to shanghai. WE DIDNT GET LAST PLACE. We were seeded 8th out of 12 teams and we place 7th or 8th. We don't know the exact placement. Xiamen the city was a decent place. There wasnt much sight seeing but they didnt have a great beach where we hung out for an afternoon. S I got a little sunburn. The best part was the seafood. It was sssssoooooo good. Much better than anything I have had in Kunming. I also got to eat subway, so I was happy about that.
I will post some pictures later...
