Better Bowling


Bowled a 178!!  Actually, only missed four pins the entire game…




Struggling to 'Start up my Engine' at Daytona


The first seat wouldn't move, the second machine didn't accept coins/tokens.  This place is as run down as you might expect an arcade in Saigon to be.




The House of the Dead


Jihye has a fascination (see: obsession!) with first-person zombie shooter games.  Should that worry me?



Conan the Barbarian


Each and every single arcade game in this place was broken which left us even more perplexed than ever as we tried our luck at a few of them.  Or that is my perfectly acceptable excuse for not being able to get more than a 1/3 of the way up the board on this damn thing.
