Traditional bingo calls have been an important aspect of bingo since the early days of the game. Each number from 1-90 has been attributed with one or more calls as a way of reinforcing to bingo players which number has been called. The most famous calls include Two Little Ducks – 22, Two Fat Ladies - 88 and Legs 11. Interestingly, all three of these calls have been assigned their particular names due to the shape that the numbers make.

My impressions of cities in Taiwan: steamy mountain forests, rivers of scooters on the roads, food smells from street vendors clamouring for attention, and….bingo! On my frequent bus trips between the capital Taipei, and Taichung in the middle of the island, I noticed that in every town I passed through there’d be at least one glowing sight – the letters “B-I-N-G-O” lit in giant, coloured bingo balls parading on building facades.
