Most of Japnese players in this tournament are from NEC so NEC's taiwan with their Japanese bosses brought their taiwanese staff to cheer for Japan team..it was funny that Taiwanese NEC had to support the Japanese instead of their own player.
Pia had been selected to perform doping test yesterday after winning her match.....to her frustration, she drank about 4 bottle of water and she could not pee.....haha.....at the same....she was too hungry and could not eat anything....
There is no player lounge at taipeh Open bjt they have Media room and full of snakc and real food.........again...it shows that organizer never appreciates players at all.......I did say it to Gillian Clark ( she was there) that organizer ( in everywhere) know how to spoil Media....
I managed to talk to Tan Kim Her....he told ma that Jenny Wallwork will be , more likely , NR's partner.... He will not go to Japan Open due to late visa request.......
Candra Widjaya showed us a pic that Big Mango is almost same size with Racket head.....That mango is huge..........
Dinner with INA players and coaches.....hosted by koh Apen ( Musica's boss)......we had 2 tables..other table was only for players ( Simon, Devin, Ahsan, Bona, hendra AG,joko) and we were same table with INA's coach, Candra, Tony an d Koh Apen.......again...you can see how much those players could eat......hehe.....( same as last time in KL's dinner with INA players)
Hmm.. ...i'm sure everyone knows which line is the food's line... ..Big Mango? Racket head?.....gotta show us some pics, Hau-ge... ...pictures??...
Udom, Thai's coach told me that Chaiyut Triyachart 's mother( SIN MD and XD) was used to be Thai ladies Champion, Daruni. Apparently Chaiyut comes from rich family...his father built badminton hall in northeast of Thailand......
Most players spent their time in Tower 101........I do not know whats the big deal with that tower.......
What else??.. ..shopping, eating, sightseeing and.........................more shopping.. It is currently the tallest bldg in the world (soon to be "officially" replaced by the one in Dubai)..Actually it's also being hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World.. The building's tower lights also change its lights every night..Tonight should be the purple color... Has an outdoor observatory tower (about $13 to get in).. ..(you should go, too, before it's no longer the tallest bldg in the world)
I have been that towe at least 3 times.............well HKG has many building changing colors every second........
Apparently Tanongsak loves Boba tea....in last 2 days, at least I saw him sipping Boba tea like 4 times at least.....
I agree that there's probably nothing interesting to do at Taipei 101 except for Shopping and Eating. I spend less than 1.5 hrs everytime I visit that tower. But, the areas around Taipei 101 (Hsin Yi) is quite interesting....I like the Mitsukoshi (malls spread out around the areas), and the Village Cineplex. There's also a flagship outlet of the biggest bookstore there (Elite).
