Asian Games Day 1- 11Nov.

I finally arrived in China yesterday after a 14.5 hr flight. While not going into too much detail, lets just say that the last few days have been chaotic. Its quite interesting how the AITA's(All India Tennis Association)representative and the IOA(Indian Olympic Asso) find ways to delay the inevitable and somehow make it all happen. I cant say I am new to this, but it's amazing how nothing changes here in 10 years. In fact, the nonchalance and procrastination together make it a very difficult scenario.
Now moving on....the Olympic centre itself is humongous. The Stadiums are extravagant and built to mega proportions. The tennis centre is equally nice and ready to cater to a lot of teams that will begin their campaign on Saturday.
The opening ceremony is to be held tomorrow(Friday evening). But we have doubts about going to the Opening Ceremony as we will play our 1st team match on Saturday against Indonesia. I will try to update some photos on Facebook tomorrow...
