Our last month's Mahjong created curiosity among the people who have not played this game before, so here we are, join us for another game of Mahjong this September. We learned two new games in July and it was fun. Looks like we are hooked now, hence we have some more games for you. Join us for a game of Mahjong with Mina.
Count me in >>

Mahjong is a strategy game that originated in China. It's similar to rummy, but it's played with tiles instead of cards. Generally, you play with 4 people. The goal is to form 4 sets or sequences and a pair, creating Mahjong! 

​Wear your thinking hats!

WINGS made a virtual tour to Argentina on the 5th of August. Flying the Flight was our lovely member Maria Cruz. 
Keep calm and drink Mate - A traditional drink shared with families and friends. Mate is a national drink of Argentina. This caffeine-rich infused drink is made from dried leaves called yerba mate through a metal straw (Traditionally Silver). Yes, we all had a sip of it. 
Traditional Food -  Empanadas, a deep-fried or baked dish filled with sweet or savory stuffing. Our host Maria and her team made this delicious dish for us to try, indeed a mouth-watering dish it is. Other dishes highlighted were Locro, Humita, Asado, Puchero, Alfajores. 
Tango Cafe Bar - We all know about Tango, don't we? Well, Argentina has Tango Bar where you can sip your coffee and enjoy the famous Tango dance. 
We ended the evening with a beautiful presentation of the gorgeous landscape of Argentina. 
So Argentina is now on my bucket list of places to visit. What do you think?

It was all about strikes upon and strikes and ofcoures a lots of gutters too. 
Three teams played amongst each other, the competition was tough. 13 of us, all came in with some or no experience at all but I must say we all came out being a pro, earning from others techniques and our own mistakes.
We had an enjoyable evening, tired ofcourse as we played 2 games of 10 pin bowling back to back.
