A friend had a walking holiday in a remote part of Romania recently and took a photo of a "bingo" hall for me in a small town. Pity he didn't have a chance to go and experience bingo Romanian style to compare. It makes our Blackpool trip seem tame and makes me wonder what the most unusual bingo destination is ? I am sure true bingo fans would take the opportunity to play wherever they found themselves.
Bingo Day has gone all international and bingo portals have members from all over the world. Bingo could be doing more for world peace than our politicians.
"Le Lotto" started in France in 1778 and France is currently said to be the boom place for on line bingo. In Germany bingo was used originally as an educational tool and more recently Mrs Obama senior has been linked with "Operation Hunger" charity bingo in South Africa. Truly international and a force for good aswell as exciting and profitable.
Of course the internet makes location almost irrelevent with the choice of bingo on tap and ever increasing but if your connection fails you could always try cow bingo, popular in a number of countries where a cow is placed in a field divided into squares and the winner is the person whose square receives the cow pat ! Long live my laptop and three cheers for home comforts.
