Still buzzing at the historic 4th place Olympic qualification performance of Team Canada at the World Gymnastics Championships, I climbed the fire escape stairs to the top of the arena in Antwerp.
Busted.
Security called me down. As well as a Ukrainian photographer.
Many are taking smoke breaks on those fire escape stairs.
Though unsigned, turns out you are not supposed to climb the stairs. Oops.
Don't tell the Gymnastics Media Manager, whatever you do. 
I have 13 hour days at Worlds. Got back downtown late and grabbed a burger. Also WINE to celebrate Canada going to Paris with 2 full teams.
As my burger arrived, some Gymnastics people from Canada and Australia stopped by. I got chatting with them. Burger got cold.
On return to the hostel, I threw the bag into the microwave. It caught fire.
Turns out that paper bag had a metal liner. Oops.
The night manager put out the flames. Doused my burger.
I had pizza, instead.
I won't forget that day any time soon.
