Dragon boat race in Nanliao, Hsinchu

We met in early morning at school to take bus to the harbor...
Not everyone showd up, some people went there by scooter...
It was alot of people at the harbor...
People stayed up late last night, so they were sleepy...
We got some tawanese bread...with red beans inside...
It was very windy...and each team got a tent...
My chinese teacher paid a visit...
Also many of my classmates from chinese class...
My friend Viktor bought burgers from Mcdonalds and Burgerking, it looked strange when he had them in the same bag...
Teams were starting continously he whole day...
One flag catcher was dressed as spider man...maybe to protect himself from the sun...
We started to warm up just before 12...4 hours after we met up for taking the bus...
Just the normal dragon boat warming up...
And some tactics...
We lost the first race and people were disapointed...just like last year...
We won the second one, and people were more happy...
We also got some pizzas and soft drinks...
It was alot of waiting in between the races...
Many people arriving, causing traffic chaos...
Many old friends from school came to watch us compeed...
I got a energy drink from my dear friend Charka...
As time passed by, fewer and fewer teams were racing...
We knew that if we lost one more race we were out...but just like last year, the first race was a "wake up" that we have to go srong all the time...not only in the end...
At the finals we lost with this light weighted indonesian team, they were uncyncronized but super strong...they deserved to win...
We waited another hour for the prize ceremony...
I lended my henna tattoo paste to some team members...
Some helicopter had some resque show, just like last year...
Then it was time for the award...
Many teams were lined up...
This is the glass trophy, kind of similiar to last years...
It was nice to take the bus back to school...ery relaxing...
Many team members fell asleep...but i was high on caffein, so i couldnt sleep...
at the night we met up at the NCTU pond...
Many people came...later on we went to the DJ club, and after that some people went to see the Euro2012 France-Spain...
