In America, we play ping pong, usually hunched over the table in some basement rec room. I used to with my best friend, and it also included a few cold ones. I, of course, didn't win too often. He owned the table. Home court advantage. In the rest of the world, they play table tennis, sometimes in front of large, cheering crowds. I wonder if they actually televise the games? I can't imagine sitting in front of the tv and watching.

It's so amazing, you get to see it three times.

Some people may joke about the ping pong thing, but it really isn't that easy to play. Simpler than some, but more difficult than others. Have you ever had a chance to play table tennis, I mean ping pong?
