Contacting people in the Land of the Rising Sun isn?t that easy. After multiple tries finally one of the calls was successful. After a brief chat, call to Japan costs ten zloty per minute, I was able to write a report. Here it is:
Trip: ran smoothly without any delays. There were only some lags at the Warsaw?s airport. After a sixteen-hour flight to Tokyo via Munich we landed on Wednesday, at 4 am Polish time.
Media attention: was huge. One decisive win over a well-respected opponent turned Mamed Khalidov into a star in Japan. Before KSW Team even checked in their hotel, Khalidov had already gave several interviews to various media outlets.
Acclimatization method: the same as during our first visit here ? we didn?t go to sleep right after we landed. We waited till the evening. Fourteen hours of sleep allowed us to be fresh and well-rested. Only Mamed?s coach Szymon Bonkowski had some rough time with his sleep and couldn?t switch to the Japanese time.
Sightseeing: is planned for later. For now Mamed?s weight cutting is more important than seeing the charms of Japanese capital city. KSW Team fighter has to make Sengoku middleweight category limit, which is eighty-three kilograms.
