As I was lovingly crossing the street when it was my turn to cross, I almost got hit by a United Nations van. Stupid U.N.
Anyway I haven't posted in a while. Whoops. But this past month has definatly been entertaining. I have seen some amazing concerts, such as a Carlbach tribute/memorial concert, and this past Thursday (12/1) I went to Tel Aviv University to see one of my favorite bands perform! They are called the Apples and they are a mix of jazz and funk and they have a DJ. No guitar, stand up bass player, and a horn section to bring it to a win. Afterwards I walked around the campus, and it was beautiful. It was much more similar to a campus you might find back in America. It had lots of statues. I have also gone to school. You know, the usual. But the biggest disappointment was my deep dish pizza fail.
I also had the wonderful experience of accidentally walking into a very religious neighborhood in the rain. I naturally looked amazing in my no-black-suit-and-black-hat. I naturally got lots of looks in the rain. It got better when I boarded a bus that was just happened to have all the men in the front and all the women in the back. Technically it was an Egged bus. Egged is the public bus in Jerusalem and most of Israel. In theory it is illegal to segregate, but the ultra orthodox do it.
As you can see, we had some mix ups in the ingredients, so I am going to try again this week, in theory.
I am going to post more often.
Until next time.
