yesterday we were supposed to go to Kyoto for Gion Matsuri. It`s one of the 3 big festivals in Japan. When we woke up it was raining really heavy so we decided it`s a bit pointless going to an outdoor festival.
So we did the usual Sunday morning thing, hotcakes for breakfast, watched tv and slept some more. At about midday I was feeling really bored so we went bowling. It`s the first time i`ve been bowling in Japan but didn`t think it could be any different to back home and then i saw 'shoeser' apart from having a great name it`s a machine that you press a button and your shoes magically appear at the bottom.
apart from this everything else was the same. The games arcade and bowling centre is about a 2 minute ride from my house and is open 24hrs. everywhere you look in Japan you can see a giant bowling pin in the air but they never seem to be that busy.
The shoes are pretty cool. Nice velcro and pink stripes and the usual everytime you take a step you feel like you`re going to fall on your ass. I`m happy to say that i won pretty easily and Mika threw the only 2 gutter balls.
Here`s me looking great in some
stylish bowling shoes (btw you can

Mika is about to throw the ball at me. the 2nd game was really close so everytime she went to bowl i screamed out her name. I think the people next to us were getting pretty annoyed but it worked. The ball didn`t even make it 4m before going in the gutter.
