East Asian Games 2009, Volleyball

You may know that Hong Kong is hosting the East Asian Games 2009 at the mean time. The game create not much noise in the world, and even in Hong Kong. People dont expect world class athletes will join the game. Hong Kong never pay much to support sports, so, the tickets for many events do not sell well.

I'm not a very sporty person (I do like watching football). However, it is nothing to loose to buy two tickets, each one cost only $50 HKD, and spend a lovely afternoon and night with valleyball team players. We do not know which country team will show up in the game while we got the tickets. However, when we know we have the chance to watch the China women volleyball team, it increase my attention a lot.

We watched three matches today. The first match was Japan Vs Korea, men. It was more exciting than expected, as two team's strength were very close. Each team head two games and needed to play the final game. Japan won finally.

The second match was very interesting. Hong Kong Vs Guam, women. As Hong Kong people, we certainly support Hong Kong. When we looked at Guam, they really look like armature. I did not think Hong Kong play well, but they beat Guam 3:0. This game bring a lot of fun indeed.

The big show came the last, that is China Vs Chinese Taipei, women. All audience came to watch China. Every time China score, the stadium move. A very pleasant game, and Chinese Taipei also play well. But if your competitor is China, you were in a very difficult situation. No exception, China won 3:0 and all the big hands from the audience.
