    Yeah, she was having fun playing with the younger girl and the younger girl was having fun playing against her idol. Kaneko was acting like she was the one being taught and squatted down to look up at her 'idol' :p

    This is a different stadium from the one I visited in 2001. I think previously it was the Yoyogi National stadium no.2. That one feels a lot more cosier than this present one. This present one looks like the same as used for the Thomas/Uber cup this year.

    The previously used stadium was Yoyogi National stadium no. 2, but it's under renovation so no. 1 was used. The feel of the stadium is similar to that of the Thomas/Uber cup that was held this year, but that stadium is about 15 min away from no. 1. This stadium was too big for just the Japan Open. It was more crowded though during the Semis for obvious reasons.

    bobtea, pretty good pics. you are using the 350D which I used to have. I think you've done pretty well using that EF-S lens. Well done and thanks for the pictures.:)

    Thanks. I'll upload a few more pics I have later. I realized that I had a few with some interesting poses/expressions from the players :D I'm glad to hear that Tony and Candra are going to try and play more in 2007, so hopefully they'll try and protect their Japan Open title next year and I'll figure out a way to compensate for my vision by then.
