Lee yong daer/LHJ withdrew........as predicted

Krisna · 09-09-2008, 12:11 AM

Simon should win this tournament... He is fresh and fit! Maria has a chance, but she might be too tired from all the Olympics competition and the hoopla that INA people give her after her Bronze win...

huangkwokhau · 09-09-2008, 12:48 AM

Chris Langridge/david Lindye also withdrew so Bona/Ahsan will have an easier opponents.
Been told that from official hotel to venue takes 40 minutes...

It was raining a bit

Nah..it takes abt an hr to get to a hotel in city-centre in Taipei (by express bus), and around 40-50 mins by taxi. So, it's a normal ride

Sealman · 09-10-2008, 09:22 PM

the venue (台北縣立新莊體育館) is quite far away from the city and not accessible by subway. for budget travellers, the nearest subway would be banqiao station and you could take a bus (no.99 if i recall correctly) or cab to the venue

yan_brot · 09-10-2008, 10:22 PM

any picture during TO 08 ??

huangkwokhau · 09-11-2008, 10:02 AM

I have been informed by Thai's coach that Poompat has resigned/retired...he might coach.
