One of the first things we did during Oweek was to go barefoot bowling. No, this is not the type of bowling that happens in a bowling alley. In barefoot bowling, you are literally on grass and your rolling these balls across the lawn towards a stationary small yellow ball. The whole aim of the game is to get the balls as close to the yellow ball as possible. Of course I, with my superb ability to aim, was awesome at this. (If you didn't catch it, that was sarcasm.) Basically, I failed massivly at lawn bowling. Unless
So the establishment that the
<-- These are the balls that we played with. They are heavier on one side, so they actually went in an arc when you rolled them. It's actually difficult to roll them right. You have to aim at just the right thing, and then give the ball just the right amount of speed. I attempted to bowl normally.. twice.. the first time the ball went in a straight line, just like i planned.. only it didn't stop by the little yellow ball. It went straight into the gutter. The second time I didn't roll it quite so much. So it curved and ended up at the yellow ball. It just wasn't the correct yellow ball.. But I ended up being able to get within a 7 meter radius of the right small yellow ball. Not bad for an American eh? :]
The next night was our mystery dinner. It was a mystery simply because we didn't know where we were going to be eating dinner until we actually got there. And then there turned out to be a jail. But wasn't too bad over all. We divided into three groups simply by sitting down at one of three different tables. Dinner was
After we ate, each table was assigned a guide to give a tour of the jail. Our lucky table was assigned a former inmate. He was pretty interesting. And creepy. And quite odd. However, he did show us multiple ways to kill people, and how to not get caught for killing them and where to hide the body. So. I was able to add those to the file "Things I Know and Hopefully Will Never Use." So far, they're the only things in there. He did make the tour a lot more interesting than the other tour guides. The other two tables had former guards.
After we were done with the tour and we boarded back on the buses, we all, and by we all, I mainly mean my unit, decided to celebrate surviving jail by going out on the town. As I am legally allowed to go to bars and buy drinks and such, I decided what better way to celebrate both surviving jail and being legally allowed to buy alcohol then by going to a bar and buying a drink? The first bar we went to (yes we did a bit of bar hopping that night) had a pool table. Which was very exciting
After we were done her
The next night was our college's commencement dinner. By college I'm talking about International House. We had a nice little dinner/entertainment thing at the dining hall. For the record, the food here is nothing compared to Tech. But it's not half bad as far as cafeteria food goes. There were also a few speeches that I didn't listen to. But I don't think I missed anything. I'm pretty sure no one listened to those speeches. After our dinner, we went to another bar thing. But this time, there was karaoke. No I didn't actually get up and sing, but I did get on the dance floor and dance to the bad singing. It was pretty fun.. actually. Bad singin
