I took my girlfriend bowling tonight in Tel Aviv. While it lacked the warm atmosphere one finds in lanes in the U.S., which feature a layer of stale cigarette smoke in the air, overweight Americans drinking beer and eating french fries between rolls and serious bowlers with various kinds of mechanical appendages attached to their throwing limb, it was fun nonetheless.
The bowling lanes we went to, located in the mall in the KLM (or Shekem) building on Ibn Gvirol Street, even have a league that meets 8 PM on Wednesday nights. I'm tempted to check it out, if only to see what kind of Israeli bowls.
As far as my performance, my first game was a disaster with a score somwhere under 90, but my second was much more respectable 137.
