sorry i haven't updated in a while...unfortunately i haven't been feeling well the last few days...fortunately that gives me some time to update my blog. So last week, being the last week of ulpan, we went to karaoke one night. Every Tuesday night at this place by the shuk, called temptations, there is a karaoke night, with Israeli music and American music. So, a bunch of us went and we actually got up and sang..never thought I'd do it but it was fun. Throughout the week we just prepared for our Ulpan final...becca and I went down to Jaffo again, and I bought a necklace I really wanted. While we were down there we ran into a bunch of high school Israelis, and a guy who apparently owns the "best shwarma place in all of israel". We got some pomegranite juice, and I tried my first crepe! It was so good!
On the bus on the way back, this woman was speaking to us in hebrew and said "Ani ohevet yisrael, aval harbeh cushim" for those of you don't know what that means..not important. Another day this week we went to this place Suzanna's for lunch in Neve Tzedeck which is know for their 'filled' food...we got filled potatoes, peppers, chicken...an amazing salad. it was sooo good. I love the food here.
Thursday was our last day in Ulpan...happy to say I nailed that test...tods rabs. We welcomed in the three day weekend...Saturday we went to Jerusalem with my friend Asaf. We visited the 9.11 memorial, the arab shuk, and the kotel for a bit. It was really nice, and the weather was good. Also this weekend Becca and I walked to the port and back...long but nice. We walked through Yarkon park, which is huge but soo pretty. All the families are out on shabbat. Which reminds me, on Shabbat we had a nice shabbat dinner with a few people. We prayed outside by the dorms, then had a dinner hosted by our friend James inside his apartment. It was really cozy but nice to be with everyone.
That's all for now. =]
