I'm so glad you brought up the Winter Olympics, because I would like to express my absolute OBSESSION for the Shibutani siblings - a.k.a The Shibsibs!
I didn't watch any of the Winter Olympics. Instead, I found out about them through social media, they posted many of their performances online. And that's when my addiction of watching Shibsib-Ice-Dancing videos began.
Their mother immigrated from Japan to the U.S. when she was young, she dreamed to be a violinist.
So when her children grew up, she insisted that she will support whatever life goals they have.
The younger sister, Maia, started her interest in Figure Skating at the age of 4. Then, Alex, the older brother, thought he should give it a try, too. And after years of training, they have won championships in the states, and now, bronze medals from the winter olympics. Though I'm not a sporty person, nor a figure skater, I still look up to them, since their age isn't too far away from mine.
extra: these are the photos which I had been talking about in the previous letter:

Dear Aubrey,
ReplyDeleteI turned into a complete Olympics junkie! We had it on two different TV channels, and I was constantly flipping back and forth to watch different events. I'm even worse during the Summer Olympics.
I like how you spent your vacation. Very often, we can live in a place, and never go to see what the tourist come to see.
