Escapades

Earlier this week I told y'all that I was going to a wedding so you should prepare yourselves for some mushy bloggage. But it's just not going to happen. I'm not feeling mushy/lame/desperate. Soz babez.

Instead I'll tell you about events that caused a separation from my blog.

Well firstly it turns out that I do have friends in J'lem who wanted to see me. Who'da thunk it?

I then went on Tuesday to Tel Aviv. I went with one Aussie and 3 Americans (gosh Americans are like so totally annoying). We went to Florentine (a hipster street... for a definition of hipster please see http://www.latfh.com/) then to Neve Tzedek, a cute little artist neighbourhood. After that it was on to Nachalot Binyanmin for the craft market. All in all pretty standard.

A South African friend of mine saved me from the Americans and we went to the Namal (port) of TA. I love that place because it's just like Melbourne. Full of cafes & restaurants by the beach but you can't swim b/c its a bit too gross. We went to the only kosher restaurant there and I got a 60 shekel salad. That didn't come with bread! WTF!?! Am so like totally outraged.

We then proceeded to meet up with some other people for an Aliya Anniversary party on the beach. Was super fun.

The next day I went to the bank (as I've done every day in this country, the incompetence is beyond belief). After the bank I got on a couple of buses and went to Kibbutz Deganya. The first kibbutz ever (well technically not really but they'll claim that nonetheless). It's 100 years old and doesn't look a day over 70. Also it's not really a kibbutz anymore since it's been privatized. But watevs. Socialism is so 20th century.

We went swimming and chilling and eating for two days in the beautiful sunshine surrounded by greenery and egalitarian values.

I have since returned to Jtown and am about to start prepping for shabz in town. I'm going to the Aussie boys house in Katamon for dinz and I'm bringing sushi salad. Jealous much?

And hence I've been separated from my laptop and therefore could not blog.

Please forgive me.
