Badminton

Well, after our guests left it was pretty quiet around here. John and I didn't quite know what to do with ourselves for awhile. We went on with our typical week of Thai school, work, and trying to stay cool. It's gettter hotter here every day. April is suppose to be the hottest month of the year...not sure how it can get much hotter. Since it's to warm outside for any outdoor activities John and I decided to spend the week competing against one another in badminton at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club. Badminton is such a huge sport here that we thought it would be a good idea for us to learn more about the game.

We walked into the club, which is only a few blocks away from our house, and we were amazed to see a golf course and horse race track on the club grounds. Right in the middle of this hectic city was silence and beauty! After purchasing our badminton gear at the sports shop were we ready to have our first match. Let's just say that John wanted it to be best out of 5. Feeling the agony of defeat John insisted that we go back to play again on Sunday. So, we geared up again and played another best out of 3-John won this time.
