Bowling is essentially a multi-person social activity, in fact, it features: fun, social, fitness and emotional release. I still love it after the 80s. Bowling is more akin to the bar culture of Europe and the United States.
Consumption is actually good, not expensive, generally three or five friends play an hour per capita with the singing k is about the same, the reason for the decline is not money. You can use your own brain to think about what the problem is from the perspective of culture, personality, society, etc.
It is more of a social contract than the sport itself. A few people ordered their own soft drinks, talked below, and cheered for the game on the field, accompanied by the ** of the venue, it was very lively, there was a jukebox in the early days of the stadium, it is estimated that few people know [cool] It stands to reason that this highly social sport is very good. In order to exercise my arms, I used to play with my left and right hands in turns, although it was not as high as my right hand, but it was more fun.
The characteristic of bowling is that it doesn't matter how good or bad the game is, but fitness, fun and socialization. Unfortunately, this culture is fading out in Shanghai. Just like the popular throwing of frisbee, children don't know, in our 80s and 90s, throwing frisbee was already a popular parent-child sport in the family at that time, frisbee was also transmitted from Europe and the United States to Japan, Taiwan and then to the mainland in the 80s, and the same is true for bowling. I also hope that bowling will one day become a popular healthy and social sports and entertainment project again.
