Pampered
I was riding the bus back from skiing today, talking to Freeman. And I was like, "so am I expected to do anything with my skis?" and Freeman said, "no, I mean, they might ask you to remove your kick wax occasionally, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to." I was a little concerned because I had left klister on my skis from Saturday and then today they were clean & I didn't want to wax techs to be pissed that I had left klister-y skis for them. But no, it apparently is fine and I apparently am not supposed to do anything with them other than ski on them. I am perfectly happy with this.
Then I get home and have lunch, decide to stop by Aaron's room to schedule a massage on the way down to do laundry for free in the hotel, run into Grover who's like, "Don't forget to go get your phone from Luke." My phone?? So apparently we each get a little mobile phone for the trip. (Since this is only a short term number, I'm putting it up here in case you want to call me while I'm in Japan (until mar5), 080-1971-1633, country code 81. I can receive calls for free but can't call out to the U.S.) Sweet, having a phone is all right by me.
This afternoon I got an hour massage from the team Physical Therapist, Aaron, which was awesome. He said come back as much as I like. He even has a real massage table set up in his room. I do not mind having a daily massage.
Then there's the food. Breakfast from 6:30-10, lunch from 11-2, dinner from 5-9, basically almost all day there's a full meal buffet available in the dining room of the hotel. Good food, lots of options, fresh kiwi, pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, and bananas at almost every meal. No sushi & not as much crazy mystery Japanese food here as at our previous hotel in Asahikawa, but it's still fun. And there's the race headquarter lounge at the main race venue that has little sandwiches and fruit and drinks available. It's awesome.
Not to mention that four different people today have asked me directly if I needed anything, or if they could do anything for me, or get me something from the grocery store. I start laughing... I couldn't even think of anything else to ask for.
