Qatari Questions

Day 3 in Doha. Still a little jet lagged, and staying in a media village that is only half finished, but it is still great to see so many familiar faces from all over theworld.

Orientation prepared us for many of the cultural do's/dont's, but still very surprised to see so many women walking around in full length, face-covering burkas.

First night here I went with Aussie Dave to see Qatar play United Arab Emirates at the Al-Sadd Football Stadium. Great game: 4-1 to Qatar. Taxis of course no-where to to found afterwards, so after a lengthy walk, a local (Indian) familyfinally stopped and gave us a ride!

Now that we're well into setup at the track cycling, we can see how amazing the Aspire Centre actually is. It's the largest sports centre in the world, housing 9 venues including our velodrome.
