I would have to assume bowling is king for you. I have never bowled a frame in SE Asia, but it was a really big part of my childhood and teenage years. I bowled in organized leagues, and can still remember the secondhand smoke and all the jukebox selections. "Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Jr. was played at least 25 times a day.

It's a really different vibe in SEA than back state-side. It's rather lawless here and it is evident that most of the locals don't really have any idea how to bowl and they really don't have a clue about the existing courtesies. I regularly see violations that would get you warned and then later kicked out of the lanes in the US but we don't really complain because we bring so many people with us on our official days that they reserve the entire bowling alley for us.

There is no jukebox thankfully but during our two hours on Thursday they let us have the bluetooth to the soundsystem and every member gets to choose 2 songs that will play every week. Some songs have been rejected for being too long like "Freebird" or one guy put "Everybody Hurts" and that was vetoed by the council.

Best comment of the day, I had the visions in my head while reading this. "Free Bird" is just brutal, even when not listening to it in a bowling alley.
