The hotel was gorgeous and the room was really spacious. I took a quick shower and then was called to get my test. Those giving it were really nice and it was an oral swab instead of nasal which was much better! Then I took a long nap until lunch came around 2 PM. It was chicken thighs, potatoes, pasta, and fruits. It smelled so good, but I was too tired and fell back to sleep until 5:30 PM. I ate the meal once I woke up and it was still very delicious! The wifi in the hotel wasn't great so there wasn't too much that I could do on my phone or laptop. I put the TV on in the room, the two channels were either wrestling or soccer. So I watched soccer for awhile and tried staying awake so that I could fall asleep at a regular time later that night. I talked with my dad around 6 PM which was his lunch, it was really nice getting to talk with family. Dinner came around 7:30 PM. It was soooooo good!! Delicious strips of steak, soft rice, chunks of potato, and beans. There was also fruit which seemed to consistently have watermelon or pineapple. Dinner done, I tried staying awake until it was a regular time to fall asleep. I was able to Google Meet with my mom which was also really nice getting to talk about the day and see a family face. Sleep unfortunately didn't come so easily. I think because I had taken a nap I was just a little thrown off. ![]() I had finally started sleeping, when at 7 AM they brought us breakfast. Another tray of fruit, and then a little sesame bread bun and a fruity cinnamon bun without a lot of glaze. Both were very yummy as I ate with a view of the city. I feel incredibly grateful that I have been given this experience to come to this gorgeous city. After breakfast I just relaxed, watched some soccer and waited for my test results to come back. Around 11:30 AM I got my results back that they were negative and I was allowed to leave the quarantine!
