Things I learned in Jerusalem:
  • Talking on the phone in the hall- everyone will be privy to your conversation
  • Leg room on the bus- forget about it- unless of course you fight for it while our neighbor is sleeping----awkward
  • Sleep in the front of the bus- back of the bus- who knows- never got that far
  • A walk to Lana's market or over priced goodies at the Kandi Kibbutz
  • When you take facebook away from a college student they WILL find a way to get passed it
  • Being sweaty, hot, smelly, and covered in dirt is going to GET you friends
  • Grandma shirts are so much more airy and cool
  • Hook-ups REALLY are awkward
  • School work........don't know how to do it there
  • Prayer calls will eventually stop waking you up
  • People in Jerusalem know how to have parties- everynight
  • It's fireworks NOT gun shots
  • Bartering- sometimes you gotta sacrifice
  • Sweat marks.........
  • Air conditioning is a blessing from the Heavens
  • Ping Pong- really is a great game
  • Dance parties........everyone really is invited!
  • Alarm clocks......snooze......over and over again
  • Every one is tired so don't talk about it anymore
  • Lunch.......Boom Bars
  • Kosher lunches are REALLY hard to stomach
  • Ice cream actually saves lives
  • Who needs exercise you sweat it all off!
  • Security--They're EVERYWHERE
  • The Arabic men are not short on comments
  • Shabon really can get you anything you want him too
