Simple Observations

I've been here a few days now and wanted to share some of the things that I already enjoy in my new home:

  • Walking down the street from where I live to the main street are three parks. I see all the children playing and I hear their voices, all in Hebrew.
  • Israelis get picked on for being bad drivers, but they stop for pedestrians even sometimes before you even start crossing the road.
  • One must be better prepared when needing to purchase things, no Walmart here, you might goto several stores to get what you need. Most stores close 2-4pm and for the night by 8pm.
  • Cats are everywhere. Most are street cats (at least the ones I see). They are cute and even some are friendly.
  • While some of my tasks this week have been mundane, everyone I have come in contact with has been very helpful.
I'm sure I'll experience more later and I'll add to this list
