Back to China-Volvo China Open 2010

In Singapore airport about to head into the blog and social media free zone that is China so I thought it might be a good idea to get a quick post in.

A great field on deck for this event, YE Yang, Henrik Stenson, all the top Thai and Asian boys as well plus the surging Korean youngsters. It will be shown on ONE HD in Australia- the Luxehills event was delayed and shown the following morning and this may be the same but check your guides.

The final Pro Shop for the season tonight as well. Masters review, Tom Ramsey interview, plus a look back at the last six months of the show and a few bloopers for the road.

Homeward Bound

It was a quiet week of blogging from Chengdu, mainly because blogs and social media are blocked in China. No Facebook, no Twitter, and no blogger. But there is a lot to report about a terrific week in Chengdu, which culminated in a finish for the ages on Sunday afternoon when Liang Wen Chong beat Kim Hyung Tai in a playoff for the ONE Asia title.

I've got quite a few pictures to post and some more thoughts on the amazing transformation taking place in China at the moment but I'll wait to get home to do that.

On an Airplane

Lean pickings on this blog of late, my apologies. What with taking a trip to Prowein in Germany, fighting jet lag and preparing for the upcoming week in China, it has been a bit crazy.

I'm commentating on the first ONE Asia event of the season in Chengdu, China this week, and I will be working to post the odd report from this relatively unknown city of just over 10 million people.

It has been quite a while since I have been to China, so it will be particularly interesting to see just how the ever advancing industrialisation of the country now manifests itself.
