In Japan, Autumn is the best season to play sports. Thinking of "Sports", the Asian Championship 2003 will be held in Sapporo City, Hokkaido during October 31 - November 7 around the same time that P-Mates 22 is released. Earlier the championship, I have "conducted an inspection" of the "Sapporo Dome" used as the venue of this championship. The championship is a real fight for the title of strongest team in Asia. It will also determine who represents Asia at the Athens Olympics in 2004. Seven representative teams are competing for just two places at the Olympics. Each will have a dream team that fights it out with pulsating plays sure to ignite all Japan and Asia too. Even though I am usually short of exercise, I got the feeling that I play sports when I image such pulsating play to be taken in this Sapporo Dome. And I finish "conducting an inspection" with all smiles.
