Wanna go bowling?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh boy, time has gone by so quickly.\u00a0 Sorry I have not had a chance to write for a while. I am now back in U.S., trying to get over the jet lag that I almost always suffer after coming back from Japan.\u00a0 Jet lag is always harder when I come back, rather than going there.\u00a0 Before I go on to talk about our trip to Kyoto, let me cover a quick Japanese lesson in this blog to get started much delayed July blog post.<\/p>\n

So today I am at bowling with my kids (Trying to keep my boys busy with something since they don\u2019t like going to any of the summer camps! )<\/p>\n

During the summer, bowling is something boys enjoy as during school year, they never seem to have enough free time to enjoy it. Around here, they have a program called, Kids Bowl Free, which gives each child two free games at participating bowling center, and once you pay a flat fee (I believe it is $15 for the summer), their shoe rental is free. \u00a0I wonder if guys have any similar programs in your town?<\/p>\n
