Badminton is popular in China

s
Badminton is queen to King Ping Pong in China.  Morning, noon, and night, the young and not-so-young grab their rackets and smash the shuttlecock for fun and exercise. Nets are optional.

There is a story, an urban legend perhaps, of an English teacher going to a Chinese police station to report a break and enter.

“Do you know me?” he asked the officer, after sitting down with him.

“Yes,” said the policeman, “You play badminton outside your building every morning at 7 am.”

The Stevo was knocked out in first round of the 2nd Annual Badminton Classic  last weekend. He took solace in the fact he could whoop all comers if they held a sporting event related to elliptical trainers.

This was processed using Alien Skin’s new Bokeh plug-in for Adobe Photoshop.

    I’m guessing this is a much easier game to play if the racket has strings? 😉

    So how are you liking Bokeh?

    Ron: Bokeh is interesting. I haven’t had too much time to play with it yet.

    It occurs to me while reading this that it’s been a very long time since I’ve played badminton. I’m going to put that on my list of things to do this summer.

    Nice shot, Stevo.
