小島 怜's avatar Rei Kojima

I'm a pickleball enthusiast in my third year living in Vietnam. In high school I was on the badminton team, spending every day chasing the shuttle. Now, amid the buzz of Ho Chi Minh City, I'm fully immersed in the speedy volleys my badminton background enables and the strategic mind games unique to pickleball. I'll casually share the real playing scene in Vietnam—local court info and improvement tips that only a former badminton player would know!
