From another site.

An indoor pool hall in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Pool is incredibly popular in Inner Mongolia and is played mostly at pool halls and in the street on special pool tables mounted on wheels.

What a beautiful picture. Thanks for this.
 
That is an excellent picture of the pool room in Mongolia.

Interestingly, Jose Parica told me that in Philippines, when he was growing up, it was the same.
Some of the pool tables were on wheels, and they played outside. If something came down the
sidewalk, requiring them to move, they'd roll the table out of their way. LOL!

He said in Philippines, he was used to playing with crappy equipment, pool balls of all different
sizes and un-level tables with a whole lot of bad rolls. They played 15-ball rotation.

When he came to the States and experienced the pristine equipment,
level tables and perfect pool balls, he was on Cloud Nine.

And then the game was 9-ball rotation. It was Pool Heaven to a player like Jose Parica from the Philippines. :wink:

Hey, is there any way you can make those pictures smaller, so that I can enjoy them
without scrolling from left to right? When they are this large, it is hard to digest them fully.

They are so cool!

Nice photos. Thanks for searching for them and then posting. There is just something about a black and white photo that is appealing.
