Sh masters

Shanghai masters 2016

Brief 3 days in the bustling market capital of china. The snooker is surprisingly good: Bingham come back from behind to challenge Shelby but Shelby was too good to let Stuart pass. Ding sailed through the scot Maguire without much fanfare. The final though is on another level. Selby was leading  3-1 then ding got 5 games in a spurt of luck and occasional brilliance. Then tied at 6-6 it's anyone's game. Ding sustained Selby's assault and brilliant snooker attempt to reverse the 4 snooker disadvantage in the last frame, and succeeding in converting 2 of the snookers Selby laid. But ding prevailed. It must be a great feeling to win in such fashion and revenge the world final earlier this year. Great match and completely worth the entry price. 

The after party is of high standard and well organised. Scoring a program booklet with all players signature is the icing on the cake for us. 

During the time in Yulin it's nonstop babysitting and game of throne binge watching whenever there is time. Not much interest venturing outside. Stuff are of generally low quality in this party of 3rd/4th tier city. Prices are low and qualities are lower is the norm here. Weather remained a heat torture until the very end of September and only now that we say goodbye to 24 hour aircon. 

I'll have to say game of throne is awesome in its tempo and story telling. Never seen anything better.
