I get to see the semifinals and finals for the first time of the Malaysian Open. This means I do not have to go and see the World Championship in Anaheim in September. But I want to see the 12 girl band. I have a few of their CD's. Ron
I'm with jkusmanto. I'm no expert on Malaysian food but my first meal ever in Asia was a Roti Telur breakfast in KK and I thought it was funny that, visiting 10 years later, my wife also became addicted to roti canai breakfasts. Not to forget the kopi susu. In a way, going back there this past winter was a little like a homecoming. It looks like an amazing facility and I wish I could be there. Badminton crowds in Malaysia and Indonesia are the stuff of legend up here in Korea and every domestic TV broadcast makes mention of the excited throngs of people who come out for events in those true badminton nations. The small Malaysian and Indonesian contingents who come to the events here to cheer on their compatriots also really liven up said events.
WOw, are you coming from the US all the way ? I will be watching the tournament live too. Hope I could get the ticket for the finals today.
I am traveling to Malaysia for some other purpose, but while I am in Malaysia, I will get to watch the Open. It should be fun, and hopefully, the stadium is not too hot. Ron
The stadium is air-conditioned, which will be switched on during the tournament. Switching the air-con off would give the South East Asians an unfair advantage.
I see. Thanks for the information. Hope one of the Malaysians would get into the final. Actually I am anticipating a match between Taufik and Lin Dan again
Wondering why is this so if one is allowed to take pictures in the stadium(presumably without the flash so as not to distract the players) ?
hey everyone, didn't online for so many days, just back from KL!! You mean the ticket purchasing one? I didn't try it... because I don't have a credit card You straight can purchase tickets at the stadium
Yeah yeah.. I got the tickets already. RM 20 for one. Can't wait to watch the matches. Today's big matches are Peter Gade vs Hafiz and Taufik vs Chong Wei.
How was the finals guys ? I really enjoyed all the matches. The men's doubles match was the most interesting one.
