Thursday, September 13, 2007 Another nice day in Bali... Because I had such a late night last night, I slept in quite a bit... and missed the cooking lessons I was supposed to do this morning! I was pretty disappointed but I must have been really exhausted from the day before. It's unfortunate as I was looking forward to it. But I had a busy afternoon anyway, doing an interview with ESPN, practicing for two hours, going to the gym for about 40 minutes, then a massage. Because I play singles and doubles tomorrow I didn't do too much. I've got to talk about how friendly the people are here. From the housekeeper to the restaurant staff they are all so nice and polite no matter if you're winning or losing. They just wish you a nice game and not good luck - they just want you to enjoy yourself. It's really different to our culture. I had a nice experience today when we got back to the hotel from practice - the housekeeper was still in the room and when he realized it was me he told me he couldn't believe it was me in real life, and we all ended up talking for like 40 minutes! Usually, you just want your privacy when you get back, but he was so sweet we didn't even mind. We all just kept chatting. He was just such a happy and friendly person that we did not care at all about the time - we just enjoyed his company. Again, people here just appreciate the simple pleasures, and he proved it. You can be happy whether you're a tennis player, housekeeper, massage therapist - it makes you think! And I have to say the fruit and all of the tropical food here is unbelievable. I seem to eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner... the juice... it is so much better here compared to back in Europe! Of course, their fried rice is my favorite :) Of course, where I live is beautiful too. I spend most of my year in Monte Carlo; I moved there mainly for the practicing conditions and of course because it's so beautiful. It's right in the middle of everything too. I spend time in Barcelona and of course a little bit back home in Slovakia with my family, but I am mainly in Monte Carlo. I hope to spend more time with my family at the end of the year. I am playing Ayumi Morita in the singles quarterfinals tomorrow. I'll have to be ready as she is having a great week. I'll try to do my best and play my game. I'll talk to you all afterwards!
