Today we got the news that Jose could go home, and that he was released form his contract with Ulsan Tigers. He has been overjoyed all day, and has already begun packing. There's a chance we may have to leave tomorrow afternoon, depending on the timing of his flight. To celebrate, we decided to go bowling this evening just down the road. We thought we might do something else to celebrate, so we eore the small hats and suits (ish) for going out. On our way, we realised what day it was - Halowe'en! So basicaly we dressed up by accident, which is slightly odd. When we got to the Bowling alley, we found one of the wierdest bowling systems I have come across (not that I've come across many, but you get what I mean). Everyone at the alley had wristguards on, in either gold or silver, and they were all geting strikes and spares every ball. The guys next to us caled over a member of staff to tel us off for two reasons - 1, we were using their balls (fair enough), and 2, we had to wait our turn to bowl. This means that, despite the fact that we are having our own game on our own lane, we have to wait until the people in the lanes on either side have had their go, so as not to distract them. This, clearly, is far from fair enough, and made the whole game a lot more formal, and as a result a lot less fun.
After the guy who told us off had gone, a bald Korean man came along, and took it upon himself to coach Henry, giving him tips in Konglish about stance and technique. Partly as a result, Henry bowled the best game I have ever seen. HE knocked down every single pin, geting 8 spares and 3 strkies, only missing the last 2 pins, giving him a somewhat unbelievable total of 197! Jose then requested we head home as he was tired, although he then proceeded to spend about three hours on Skype, while we drank Soju in Henry's room.
