Table Tennis? Really?! It's an Olympic sport?! It's ping pong!! Don't glorify it with a fancy name and let people win medals for playing a parlour sport!
Ok! Maybe, I'm just a little bit bitter since I completely and absolutely suck at it! I definitely don't look like this when I play...

I'm even so skilled that when I did managed to return a volley I hit a student in the _ _ _ _s. Really awesome. Not embarrassing at all!! A foreigner. A girl. The only girl in the "Table Tennis" club! Hits a student there!! Ahhh I could have died!
I have to play again today, and every Wednesday. Play a sport that is not a sport, under the watchful eyes of Koreans who freaking LOVE this game and spend many an hour playing, because... it's good exercise!? What??! Although the men in that clip do have nice leg muscles...
Koreans take table tennis very seriously. I would have loved to watch the video but it says that it is not available in this country. Meagan......I love to read about your adventures. I am learning so much about the country you are calling home for now. Thanks for sharing!
