Hubby had a family outing organized by Country Office today. They had a bowling tournament at the only shopping mall available in Khartoum -AFRA (hehe also the only bowling alley in Sudan!). We arrived at the center at 9.30 even before the center was open. But we were kept waiting for the rest to come and also for the owner to fix the bowling alley machinery - so we only started at 11.00 am.
It was really sad to find the alleys not being well maintained. They had 8 lanes but only 4 can be used at a time. The pin machine wasn't working properly. The pins will come out 9 or 8 at a time instead of 10. It was really frustrating but we just try having fun with the facilities available.
They also had pool tables and an old Daytona racing video game - but again the machines weren't in good condition. So while hubby was busy playing I tried to brush-up my skill in pool. It was really difficult to push the 'stick' (hubby tells me its called a 'cue'!) while at the same time aiming to shot the balls. But we were doing something different, and that was exciting!
We had lunch with the rest of the staff after bowling. Hubby's group was announced as 3rd place winners (hehe there were only 4 teams pun) and he was named 5th top scorer overall.
