10 lbs takes flight

So spring cleaning revealed some treasures under all the cobwebs. One of those would be mission pictures on CD that I didn't remember that I had. As I was looking at these pictures, I realized there is a great story behind each peculiar scene. I thought that I should share some of those pictures and stories.


This is the first. Bowling was a huge fad in Taiwan in the mid to late 90's, but dwindled off after a few years. Hence, numerous, spacious bowling alleys with nobody in them. This was a p-day favorite. There has been rumors that there was a picture out there of me doing this, but here it is for reals, in the flesh. Obviously, we weren't going for "highest score", but we were going for "longest hangtime". At first glance, one might wonder "where is the ball?" Don't look on, but rather above the alley. That yellow ball nearing half way... the ball hit the alley about 3/4 of the way down, and hit the pins with a flash of furry.
The owners of the alley thought that the way we were bowling was amaricanized methods, and laughed and laughed. We did too, wondering if I had put dents down there at the end.
As a side note: check out those pants...
