In our cultural class, we enjoyed the bowl. we walked about 20 minutes to get there. I played bowling before so I had some pride to have the top score. But two teachers were played very well. Especially teacher April was so great even she is a woman. And teacher Steve played with a ball weighted 15 which was hevyest. We played twice and I ranked second both time. The bowling game place was pretty small but they were having everything they need. Shoes that I rent was clean and also the bowling ball was clean. So I played with the comfortable mind. Comparing with visiting Reading Terminal Market and Mutter Museum, having a bowling class was much fun and interesting. I hope we've get lot of chance to visit there and play bowling again. I am sure to be the first top score next time we play. It was not a short distance to walk there, while we were playing the bowling time went very fast because it was very exciting. Since the second game, teacher Mara also enjoyed with us. She bought popcorn for us. She was the worst player. But she seem like she was enjoying the bowling and also the class with us. She laughed a lot while she was playing so we also smiled and laughed.

I am glad you enjoyed the experience.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about April being a great player "even though she is a woman" is an interesting statement. Many women are great at sports and many men are not. It all about opportunity, skill, practice and motivation. It reminds me about Title IX. If you are interested, you can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX
I'm glad you had a good time Jihan. Just like Steve said, women and men can both be great at sports. Did you notice the women's bowling league that was playing a few lanes down from us? They were awesome!
