Table Tennis

The highlight of today was playing table tennis (or ping pong) with my friend Emily. (She’s the one who took me on Saturday’s outing.) There are 5 tables on campus and she brought 2 friends with her. They were teaching me how to hold the paddle, hit the ball and the proper stance. And she was teaching me more Chinese words. I almost have the numbers 1-10 down. But I don’t think I could do them individually or out of order :)

So we played table tennis for over an hour. I was so hot and sweaty by the end. Ick. You would think it isn’t that much work so you wouldn’t have a problem. You would be wrong! But it is fun and I have just enough competitive spirit to keep trying. And we have plans to play again on Friday :D

P.S. the Kending trip might be back on. Who knows.

They're real table tennis experts over there. We'll have to have a game when you get home. I used to be good, but I'm sure you will beat me. Apparently you survived the typhoon. It was on the news.

Love you, G. Barlow
