我最近參加的社團叫做早稻田大學桌球同好會,簡稱WTTS。雖然叫做同好會,聽起來好像一群人在俱樂部裡快樂地打飛得又高又慢的桌球,但完全不是這麼一回事。非一年級的人桌球實力都很強,一年級裡面也一堆很厲害的人。
我是裡面目前唯一的外國人(塔哈我們快失去你了!),也是唯一一個日文只有幼稚園程度的人,也是唯一的碩士生。社團之中有些人英文很強,有些人英文大概會一些基本,但要是每聽到一句話,就抓著會英文的人問那是什麼意思,就有點太煩了,所以大部分時候我都是聽不懂就算了XD。
因為大家都是一年生一年生的叫,所以剛開始有人不知道我是碩士生,還跟我說:『雖然是一年級生,可是看起來像是大二或是大三的學生。』幹事長(類似台灣的社長)也說我看起來像十九歲,代表我的外表真的看起來像是十九歲或是二十歲呢(認真)。
不少人都去過台灣,不過大部分人的印象都是鼎泰豐和101。
一個禮拜大概會有三次固定練習,和幾次聚餐(コンパ)。聚餐會去可以喝酒的地方,那邊會有些小菜,像是薯條、炒麵、西班牙火腿、玉子燒之類的(還看過生魚片和多力多滋)。小菜是有限的,但是飲料是無限的,於是聚餐的本質就是不斷地玩遊戲和喝酒。
玩遊戲是所謂的懲罰遊戲(罰ゲーム),輸的人要喝完杯子裡的酒,不過平時酒杯裡的酒都保持在少少的量,所以很容易就可以喝完。在喝的時候同桌的人會一直叫那個人的名字。好比說在那邊大家叫我黃君,我在喝光杯子裡的酒的時候,大家就會一直喊『黃君黃君黃君』。
遊戲則有很多種,最常見的是山手線遊戲(山手線ゲーム)和Pin Pon Pan遊戲(ピンポンパンゲーム)和一個我忘記名字的遊戲。忘記名字的遊戲具體來說是大家輪流照著123的順序喊數字,可是遇到3的倍數或是有3的數字(13、23、31、32)要拍手。
山手線遊戲要看不同的主題,好比說日本的縣。大家要輪流講一個縣,講到重覆的就輸了。我遇過最特別的主題是東京迪士尼樂園設施XD。
最後還是要說,知道我有女朋友之後那個大家異常驚訝的臉實在是太過份了。
Since there are no many Japanese people using Facebook, I would like to talk somethings about club.
Recently, I have joined a club called WTTS, which is abbreviation of Waseda Table Tennis Society. The Japanese name of club Dokokai (同好会) sounds like a bunch of people play table tennis slowly and leisurely. However, it is not true. Almost everyone who are not freshmen there are really professional players. There are also many good players among freshmen.
I am the only foreigner (We are losing you Talha!) and master student there, and also the only one whose Japanese ability is as poor as kindergarten students. Some of students in club could speak fluent English, some of them seem to have only basic level. However, that would be really annoying if I insist asking everything I don’t understand, which is nearly 80% of what I heard there. So, most of time I just skip everything I don’t understand.
Sometimes some of people only know I am freshman without knowing I am a master student. One time a girl said to me, “Although you are freshman, but you look like 19 or 20.” The leader of club also said I look like 19. I think it means I look really younger lol.
Many people had ever been to Taiwan before, but most of their impression about Taiwan is Din Tai Fung and Taipei 101.
And those extremely surprising faces after knowing I had girlfriend were so mean.
