Seuraavalla keralla pelasin kaksistaan tanskalaisen kanssa taas. Hän siis on pelannut sulkapalloa ihan tosissaan neljä vuotta, mutta pelatessamme pisteistä olin aina vain jokunen piste perässä. Ainakin on kivempaa pelaat jonkun kanssa joka osaa pelin kunnolla, kuin jonkun ensikertalaisen kanssa. Pelimme jälkeen kiinalainen vanhempi mies tuli haastamaan tanskalaisen. Eli ihan niin hyvä vastus oli että ihan muut pelaajat halusivat myös pelaa hänen kanssaan. Mailojen vuokrahan ei periaatteessa maksa mitään, vain 1,30 per maila, mutta sulkapallot ovat todella surkeat. Eli mikäli pelaamme jatkossa useammin pitää varmasti pallot käydä ostamassa.

At my gym you can also play badminton. I
had only been watching Chinese people playing, but one day when I
went to the gym together with one of the Danes, we decided to play. As we arrived to the
gym two other international students from our school were playing, so we challenged
them. First we had to go and hire some badminton-rackets for 10RMB. Also the
rate for one hour during the day was only 25RMB. We played against the other
students three sets. We both won one set and in the end the Dane started taking
all the balls so he would make sure we would win. And there I just stood doing
nothing for the rest of the game. In some way I can forgive him for wanting to win,
since I got distracted when the Russian guy we played against started asking if I
spoke Russian at the same time as the other guy got a point as I just stood
there talking with him and not looking at the ball.
