Team Tokyo Bowling


Went bowling at the Shinagawa Prince hotel two nights ago to "unwind" from all the pressures of teaching. It is basically the same experience that you might have in the US, but you are shown on a large video screen above your alley while you "bowl" the ball so that everyone else can see your style, then your score is shown and finally the best score you can hope to receive in this game. So every time you get up to bowl, you are reminded that you cannot make a perfect 300. Everything is calculated and represent back to you. Just when you think that you can pay for your bowling and slink out, the cashier hands you a detailed print out of you score, pins hit, playtimes, etc. (see picture). You can see here just what a bad bowler I am! But the mapping person inside me loves getting this back as evidence. = d
