(09/12/2011) Today I went bowling, which was pretty fun! I beat the people I was with 3 times! I averaged over 100 points each game and I got several strikes and quite a few half strikes. I was actually quite impressed with my bowling skills. I also taught my cousins boyfriend how to bowl and I could see he got much better. It is purely just not looking at the pins (The pins are the distraction). You need to look at the ground markers only and aim for them. – 9 times out of 10, you will get the ball going down the middle.
I’m the “15G” guy! I played a little better than usual however with a little more practice, I think I would be pretty decent at bowling at any rate. It is purely just hitting the ball straight down the middle and knowing how to do that. – While also lunging forward enough to get enough speed into the ball to get it rolling fast exactly down the middle. I actually think it is possible to get strikes every round quite easily if you practiced enough.
After bowling we went to this place Lenkung (sp?) township, it is a 1 hour drive from Taichung city to this place. But it is interesting. It is considered as the “old town” since everything, including the buildings are very old. The shops & markets there also looked old. It was an interesting look. The reason I came here, was because I was travelling with my cousins, her boyfriend and also their friends. They went there purely to say a prayer or bow to an idol for the Moon Festival season.
However before this, we ate at an ice desert place. The desert they made was delicious. Though I believe you can buy similar types of food all around Taiwan:
I will end it there. I had a pretty decent day out today – which was a lot of fun!
