Unfortunately we are pretty much either going to be at the arena in the studio, or in our hotel right across the train tracks. Sucks, was really wanting to see the country.
It's beautiful in places like Kyoto or Hokkaido (the North island) but I'm sure the authorities want to spare their children the trauma of seeing the HCP trying to eat a burger with chopsticks
https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports...dal-contender-vaccinated-tokyo-002509177.html Michael Andrew, an Olympic gold medal favorite, says he won't be vaccinated for Tokyo My reason behind it is I, for one, it was kind of a last moment, I didn’t want to put anything in my body that I didn’t know how I would potentially react to. As an athlete on the elite level, everything we do is very calculated. For me in the training cycle, especially leading up to trials, I didn’t want to risk any days out, because we do know that there are periods where, getting the vaccine, you have to deal with some days off. But as far as that goes, USA Swimming and all of us here have been through a very strict protocol with lots of testing, masks, socially distant, obviously staying away from the crowds, everything like that. And going into Tokyo, the same thing, with testing every day. So we feel very safe and protected, knowing that we’re minimizing risk as much as possible
so they make you both sleep on the roof and work on the roof? Something about you not wanting to take your shoes off indoors?
Japan is not well vaccinated. They are a fairly isolated country and expect a lot of outsiders who can and will bring the disease.
