We are Geelong, the greatest team of all ......

For the third year running, Geelong have made it into the AFL grand final. Despite the fairly boring game which produced a flogging by about 70 points, it was fantastic to see Geelong make it through to the final. However, it presents a dilemma for me now…..do I stay in Wuxi or Shanghai to watch the final or do I take a risk and hope that I can find it screened in a smaller city somewhere in China? We begin our holidays at 1.30 pm on Friday and as always, I am hoping to leave Wuxi as soon as possible to take advantage of the holiday time. My choices are: 1) Stay in Wuxi to watch the final (12pm on Saturday) and leave Saturday night to have about 2.5 days wherever I go. Or 2) Leave Wuxi at 1.35pm on Friday to travel somewhere a little more remote (currently considering Wuyuan, south of Wuxi) and hope that I can find the footy on a big screen or on the internet somewhere. Because I am hoping to go somewhere off the beaten track, it will take longer to get there, so more time is needed for travel – Wuyuan is about 6 hours from Shanghai by bus, however, I’m not a fan of long distance bus travel, so I am thinking of flying to a nearby town from Shanghai then jumping on a bus for only 1.5 hours. The travel hassle will hopefully be worth it – Wuyuan is known for its small, beautiful villages. There are some great walks to do between villages which look amazing. But the question remains, where will I watch Geelong beat the Saints?
