This is actually a very exciting season for the new ABL! There are several standout "expat" players in the league as well. I went to the first game against china... Saigon Heat won! Next game is tomorrow night.

Sorry more specific... Next game is tomorrow January 3 @7pm I believe

the Vietnam - China games are not part of the ABL season. these are "friendly games" where they practice their tricks, expose new players, tune-up their strategies, "get the feel" of international court, etc....

by the way, the Saigon Heat won the 2 games against China.

kudos to them !

the game between Vietnam vs Indonesia tonight was great.
the crowd was crazy, screaming and cheering hard.
expats and locals alike were so happy for the win over the defending champs. kudos!

its gonna be Philippines vs Vietnam on January 26 - Saturday.
this is gonna be a nice match to watch.

see you guys!

Could someone please tell me, can I buy beer at the game?

lydo, Welcome to the blog guy. Your going to fit in with this crowd really good. Get the beer going first, after that everything will fall into place.

Yes they sell two types of beer Heineken and something else... Can't think of what as I usually stick to the Heineken. They are 25,000 a can. :)

Thanks Travel12 and Duffman1
