I have mentioned before about we have a ping pong table in our department, so we are holding a tournament among a few keen guys this week and I just had my first game this afternoon.
Actually this had been discussing around since last term but didn’t put it into action. We have three groups of different levels, I am put into the tough one. This afternoon I had a game with Hiro – an exchanged student from Kumamato this year. It was a very good game and I was so lucky that I won. But to be honest I have been playing at that table for a long time so got used to it already, whereas Hiro rarely played with us before. I’m sure if he comes down more often and gets used to that table and people, we could have a better match.
Each of us put one pound in, and of course the winner take the money at the end. And after that we are going for a big social. After all, the main purpose of arranging such a tournament is getting people together rather than a competition, isn’t it.

It is the ping pong ball that binds us….
It is a shame that we cannot play during the weekend! Otherwise we can get everyone around and watch a match! True competition style!
I really want to see who can win in the finals!
Yes, you are right. But is that table that binds us.
I think participation is more important than competition.
hi.
what’s right:
table tennis or ping pong ?
have a nice day!
Both of them.In China we mostly use “pingpong”.
