Squina

One of the things I love best traveling around Hong Kong is the unexpected surprise. We were heading to Hong Kong Polytechnic University to meet with our friend Vesper for a little Sunday morning tennis. After checking in we were heading through the gym to the rooftop tennis courts when we came upon one of those surprises.


One of the most popular sports in Asia is badminton. As luck would have it, Polytechnic was sponsoring Squina, the Asian Universities International Badminton Tournament.

Since it was only 9:30 AM, warm-ups were just finishing up.

There were teams from all over Asia and I can tell you that this is not your back yard badminton game. The speed and skill with which they played both singles and doubles was most impressive.

Just a few minutes out of a Sunday morning, but a real treat for us.
