Frisbee Overseas
is Ultimate Hit

Dan Murphy and Sungene Ryang, both '93, and Brigham Golden '91, met in Bali, Indonesia, last April to compete in the first annual Nusantara Cup, an ultimate frisbee tournament. Organized by Brigham and Dan (founder and captain of PT Discindo, Indonesia's first Ultimate Frisbee team), the Nike-sponsored event was held at the Lapangan Banteng hotel in Bali, complete with a beautiful view of the Indian Ocean.

The three-day tournament attracted 120 people comprising six teams, with Sungene's team finishing in second place and Brigham and Dan's in third. The event didn't stop at frisbee, however, as evenings were filled with bungee jumping, swimming, and non-stop dancing.

Each of the three men has spent time working in Asia since graduation: Dan for the Far Eastern Economic Review and the Christian Science Monitor; Brigham in Papua, New Guinea, conducting research for his PhD in anthropology at Columbia University; and Sungene, who travels as vice president in charge of Asia for wcities.com.
