Yippee! No more Japanese in PMO, but so many here! It's like the phoenix rising from the ashes, LOL. The Japanese really have good taste, Stockholm is such a beautiful capital. It is built on islands. I hope Mayu can beat Judith later

Oh yes, and your not so well known WD friends are there too. I downloaded their photos from your Facebook last time

Not only concentrating in her Badminton, but also in her finishing of her studies at her school (I would think).

Minatsu Mitani will be at the 2011 Polish Open (24-27 March).

Although not seeded, I think she can arrive at the Finals.

Finally. A chance for her to shine. Why on earth did she withdraw from the other three tournaments?
