Ice Hockey

Hello there!

So apparently there are some people who are reading this blog. I am, frankly, quite surprized.

I have my Japanese final tomorrow. I've been trying to study as hard as possible, and while doing that I have found many ways to procrastinate. One of which is following the scoresheet for the Latvia vs. Germany game at the Ice Hockey World Championships. You have to understand here that I am not very interested in Ice Hockey, or any kind of sports for that matter, but today's results suddenly seemed very interesting (remember, I have a Japanese final tomorrow). The game was cruicial for the Latvian team to get into quarter finals, but they lost with 3-5. That is not very surprizing, as the Latvian team usually finishes somewhere between 9th and 12th place. Maybe next year.

I was also shocked by the latest news on the inflation rate in Latvia. The yearly inflation rate for the month of April was .... 17.5%. Yes, 17.5%. Isn't that crazy? I remember last year people were freaking out about a 8-9% rate, but now it's 17%. I don't really know what to say, expcept I hope things start to get better soon.

Ok, back to Japanese.
