So German Bowling was a lot different than expected. The source i had before German bowling was wrong on a couple of key issues. So here is how it really was...
It was indoors and looked almost identical to a bowling alley except it was in a resturant and people sit at their tables eating their dinner watching you. So needless to say it was pretty embarassing and nerve racking to play infront of about 50 German people eating their nightly dinner.
The second is that the lanes are long and skinny and not as slippery as American Bowling. The balls are the sizes of Cantalopes and weigh about 2-3 pounds. The balls also either have 2 holes for fingers (for the inexperienced AKA me) or not hole for the experts (AKA the Germans).
Also German bowling is made up of a number of games. My favorite is 3 numbers game. Each person gets three chance to bowl. The first bowl can be placed anywhere in three slots, so the ones place, tens place, or hundreds place. And its up to you to use logic to place the numbers accordingly to get the highest number possible. For instance i rolled a 6 my first time so i placed that in the hundreds spot, second i rolled a 5 i put that in the ones spot and my last roll was a 5 so i put that in the tens spot giving me a score of 655.
Anyway it was great fun!
