We have always talked about going bowling but never did it...until now! Not only is Lotte Mart a supermarket, but it also has a cinema, arcade and bowling alley upstairs! This was Jason's first time trying 10-pin bowling, and the last time I tried was about 15 years ago! The lanes were quiet when we got there (granted it was a weekday), so we had the place to ourselves (to laugh at each other). No, we weren't that bad, but we weren't good either!
Enough English was spoken there that we didn't have too much trouble getting setup. The only challenge we had was finding a pair of shoes that would fit Jason! They immediately gave him the largest pair they could find, and after the third pair, he found some that would work...well, sort of! And yes, the same ugly bowling shoes are worn all the way over here in Vietnam. They also provide you with socks too, how nice!

The lanes were automatic as was the scoring which was good because I could not remember how to score! We played two games, and it is tied 1 to 1 right now so we will have to go back one day for a tie-breaker! For the four games (2 games each) plus shoes it was 130,000 VND or $6.50 CAD!
Service was very good as the pins got stuck a couple times or would not reset correctly, and one of the attendants was there to promptly assist.
It was a lot of fun and good laughs for both us and the staff who were watching us but kind enough not to laugh.
Till we meet again!
