...I do not think so.....it just happened that Lu Yi and Chen Xu saw me collecting my luggage...they did ask why no INA players in China Open..Told them that PBSI did not have money and they could not believe it....then how they could come to HKG Open...told them they use their own money...they were more surprised...

**huangkwokhau** · 11-24-2008, 03:46 PM

YONEX is coming up "limited edition" for shoes/bags with Dragon symbol in it.....it costs HK$ 500for shoes....HK 300 for bags...this time, YONEX is selling a lot of "Japanese made Yonex shirt"...not cheap but very good quality...

...they must've thought, poor Hau-ge, he has to come all the way & meet the rest of the INA players on his own because PBSI can't afford to sponsor him...

OT:weather/temp. here has been pretty chilly/on the cool side....i bet you're glad to be out of chilly Austria & be in HK, where it's nice & muggy, eh??..

The Chinese players have lots of respect for INA players & for them to hear this, it's must have been quite a shock. What about next year - when the global recession spills over to the Asian countries??? I hope some generous businessmen/companies will step in to help out ... anything that you can do, Huang?
