We spent out Saturday afternoon at the Boule Bar. Boule is a rather “boring game”. It seems like the marble game during my childhood. However, it’s played with bigger metallic balls.
It’s a game played by two opposing teams. A team is to start of the game by tossing the jack, a small red ball, out onto the lane. Then that same team is to toss one ball towards the jack and try to bring the ball as close to the jack as possible. The other team is to try and either bring their ball closer to the jack than the opposing team or knock their ball away. The team gains score with the number of balls closest to the jack.
The people were being split into teams of 3. Each lane had 2 teams playing. So a total of 6 people took turns to toss the ball. Initially it’s fun toss the ball, but it got boring as the game went on. In my team, there’s one Australian and a German. The Aussie was quite quiet and the German was reserved. Maybe he did not have the confidence to converse in English.
Anyway, we left the game at around 2.30pm and went to Gamla Stan to meet Michelle, a fellow Singaporean studying PhD in virology Sweden. She’s a DSO scholar. Very pleasant and friendly lady. Thanks to her, we finally found some marts that sell Asian food. Haha… And thanks to her, we finally found the location of the Hong Kong trading! LOL… Anyway, we had nice coffee and sweet Swedish dessert (which I can’t recall the name) in a coffee house that is located in an underground cellar. Very unique and cool cellar.
