Another formal dinner! 29th May

This evening's dinner was hosted by the organising committee of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PeongChang, just down the road from here.

More speeches, more great food, and some entertainment. Some beautiful Korean lady dancers, in red traditional dress - graceful, coordinated, elegant - followed by Korea's top saxophone player giving a great rendition of Danny Boy, and then the local school children singing a bunch of songs from (of all things!) the Sound of Music. Little Korean kids dressed in national costume from all over the world singing 'Edelweiss'! Sounds bizarre, actually very touching. 

So also during the day I had Youth & Children's Co-ordination Committee and Alpine Classification Committee meetings, plus a whole lot more informal stuff. I managed a short walk around the lake. Feel as if I'm working really quite hard for my luxury penthouse room, and only longing for a good night's sleep!
