It has been seven years now that I stopped playing ping-pong in a club. To be fair I never really played in these years. Here in our lab we have a room with a pin-pong table and some of my colleagues are playing regularly. I joined them today again and it was good fun. Playing in China, the motherland of ping-pong, was always a dream and although it still was just ping-pong it was something special. And of course people were surprised that I was actually able to play properly – and so was I after all these years.
The sport is still very popular over here and I have seen many people playing in the parks I have visited by now. They have decent numbers of tables which are illuminated by night and usually covered against rain.
