  1. BWF launched AirBadminton: the official version of outdoor badminton... But for Asians, this is just a revival of childhood memories
  2. 500? Are you sure those are political parties? Not parties with asado and empanadas everywhere?
  3. Unfortunately Sanda looks like unregulated kickboxing for new spectators. Even if China will host Summer 2032, they won't try to add Sanda.
  4. Taolu won't appeal to Western audience. If Nangun/Nandao/Nanquan is still boring it means the only Taolu event you can watch is Duilian. https://youtu.be/4WxphPKKzAc https://youtu.be/Wcpk0QHACIQ
  5. Maybe. Since there is enough time until April 2020. But it will be very tough since they have to start from 0.
  6. Kosovo trying to gain BWF membership. Decision in about 2 weeks
  7. Some Japanese acrobatic baton stuff right there~
  8. Gail Devers just giggles every time she talk about Indonesia
  9. First time watching this mixed shuttle... It would be better if it's not mixed.....
  10. Welp that's really unfortunate
  11. you forgot the words "very conservative" in the middle of the sentence
  12. Updates from Indonesian Election What we know The incumbent Joko Widodo is winning based on quick count and exit polls (which means the world lose a Trumpish candidate) Official results to be announced on 22 May. As of today the result is around 56-44. What is funny Both sides claiming each other as fraudulent (classic) The losing candidate supporters claimed the election committee server is defective because they used free Linux The incumbent basically does nothing, but the losing guy held a winning party and saying the survey are lies and manipulated. Several unsuccessful attempts to hack the election server are found. As the losing candidate supporters are really convinced, many of them fallen to the trick of a guy who pretends to show them how to prevent election server from being hacked via Command Prompt (it is actually a way to wipe all your harddisk) What is sad At least 250 polling station workers passed away during their duty due to exhaustion or accidents. Cramming 5 kinds of election (Presidential, Upper House, Lower House, Provincial Council, City Council) to a single day in order to increase turnout is a bad idea.
  13. If insidethegames interface is "bad", Around The Rings' must be a f****** disgrace
  14. Yes, for example it made realize that Chinese Taipei is quite good in korfball
  15. Let's see whether the pre-contest favorite will fall again or not
  16. I've been busy for the last 2 days, so thank you @mrv86! Also thanks to everyone who voted for ! (haven't read all the pages )
  17. I couldn't understand people are craving to watch Avengers... Even those who already watched it buy another ticket a week later to rewatch Even I know a guy who fainted in a cinema toilet because he hold his pee for the movie
  18. Remember this guy? After faking the scene above and a car accident, he was finally tried and jailed for 15 years. But after 8 month in prison he pretends to be sick (again) and requested a hospital treatment for his heart condition yesterday. And he is caught eating Padang food restaurant in the hospital (Padang food is famous for curry-like dishes and oily stuff, very good for your heart ).
  19. The only thing that made interested in the finals
  20. He's basically signing all the invitation for major badminton events
  21. In fact, also gold in men's double which means Algeria stopped Nigeria from sweeping all gold.
  22. We also have this stuff in Java called janur kuning, a slightly curved "sign" made of palm leaves with names of the bride and the groom hanging on it. It is usually put at the nearest intersection of the wedding location. People often jokingly said "as long the janur is not erected, you still have the chance (to snatch or marry someone's fiancee)"
  23. Well in Indonesia it depends of the ethnic group... But a basic Islamic wedding will consist of: 1. Delivering gifts to the bride 2. Doing an akad, usually in the bride's house or a mosque. Basically in front of family and friends, the groom will have to say "I wed (bride's name) with xxx as dowry". Then the official will ask to those present whether the akad is legal or not (of course everyone will agree unless you are making a reality show or soap opera ) 3. Have a wedding reception (usually this often happen on the road(!) and causes road closure). The bride and the groom with their families will sit at the "pelaminan" where the coming guests will congratulate the couple first before enjoying the meal. Different ethnic group will have stuff like bridal shower or certain ritual dances.
