Says she's touched by being approached by people saying they are going (or went ) to COI.

Stephane Lambiel came back to the show (he was out due to injury) and she's glad she's not the new skater anymore. (LOL)

"Here's a funny story I'd like to share.
Michelle (Kwan) came and without a word, handed me a green sweat shirt.
I asked "From who?" to which she replied "Me". I held it out to find a picture of a podium, with a girl waving on the top of it printed in the front. Michelle smilled and said "That's you." I didn't expect her to be such a funny person with a great sense of humor. I was touched by this surprising gift."

The cast went bowling and Arakawa fell (PML). Team Russia won and Plushenko hit a high score of 168. (Arakawa 86)


29 June
On the bus, she found one seat with a "Shizuka Arakawa" written sheet. It was Surya Bonaly who had reserved it for her, because "The bus gets crowded and it would be difficult to find a seat." Arakawa was thankful.
Same day, Irina Slutskaya said "Shizzu, let's talk more!". Arakawa could only say "Ok" and she thinks she should have told Irina that "I'm not a dog (Shih Tzu) as a joke. PML

Edited to add...
On 29 July, Nihon TV aired a 85 minute program of Arakawa and COI.
Pics here. I only saw a few minutes and judging from that, it was a well made documentary focusing on Arakawa's first time on COI, her struggle with English, how she has to try hard because she isn't well known to the American audience, etc.

I'm pretty sure that Nihon TV is going to televise COI Japan Tour in Sendai. Good for Arakawa to get NTV.
