Venue do's, don'ts and overall impressions

It's amazing to be here but we just have to share some areas forimprovement.

It's 7 pm and we are at badminton where the stadium is a great design. Three matches go on at the same time, amazing to keep track of it all at once.

Venues can be very far apart. We came from basketball using the subway and then a bus - about an hour and a half total transit time.

Food is the same at all venues; photo to come. But David just got a package of bread for dinner. The vendor said all the concessions were out of all the other choices. We highly reccomend you eat before you attend. You can not bring in any food or drink - not even my gum :)

This brings us to security. Thank goodness at basketball they offered lockers for our food and items like hand cleaner, lipstick, sun block etc. Lesson, don't bring a anything like that.

So hope this helps others who are on their way here for the second week. We will now be ready for tommorow, for an even smoother day. Now if the could just make the humidity less :)
