Marathon Rehearsal

… Marathon rehearsal… Started very late. Of course. Technically quite good, except for air traffic control… Not giving up permission to enter air space, and also Olympic Security not giving us permission to enter Olympic park with aircraft or vehicles… And this is the rehearsal! Found out that my boss is coming back out from the USA on sunday for 6 days… She left on thursday last week. Bizzare.

I got a cheque today for $US 1500 which is close to A$3000. Next time I am in the city I need to cash it before the US $ crashes the same way the A$ has.

Prices at Sydney Olympic Park are strange. At the press centre, a 600 mL Coke is $2. It is $3.80 at the food hall, and $4 in your seat at the stadium. Cans of Coke are $0.50 at the SOBO Logistics compound, and free at some of the broadcasting compounds.
