As we were driving to LA, we could still not get in contact with Ester néni, who we were supposed to stay with, so as a fun birthday event, and also to kill some time, we pulled over when we saw the sign for minigolf, and some enormous building that promised elaborate golfing fun. In the end it wasn't sooo crazy, but it was still pretty fun. Of course Seamus completely beat me in the game, but I managed to not get too upset about sucking at golf, and even had some cool successful shots. The real fun actually came when we went inside, and played with the arcade machines. It is pretty cool to be an adult, and have the power to waste as much money in it, as you want! Although I think we only got 7 dollars worth of tokens between us, so it wasn't even too crazy spending. A the way it works, is you use tokens to play with all kinds of games, and depending on how you do, you get tickets that the machine spits out. At the end you can buy different little silly prizes with your tickets. We played 3 types of ball throwing games:ski ball (I was the best at this, I managed to get it into the highest 10000 point hole), basketball, and American football. Surprisingly we won most of our tickets with American football out of these. Our most successful game out of all was kungfu panda, where you had to hit 1 out of 6 drums, based on where a dumpling was coming so that the panda could kungfu it away. Seamus had an amazing run on this, after which the machine spent about a minute spitting out 250 tickets. It was amazing, we felt like we won the lottery. I played dance dance revolution for the first time, which I was pretty bad at even at the easy setting, and then Seamus decided to set it extra hard for my second run, on which I scored an impressive 0%,even though I was basically just running in place trying to hit anything by luck. In the end we got to feed all our tickets to a counting machine, which was also really fun to do with the longer tickets, and then we got to choose some silly stuff from the store. We were actually mostly excited about the cheapest items, we got some funny instant tattoos, a sticky spiderman, and a zombie that grows 6 times in size when addax to water.Read more
