Aug. 19th, 2008 03:24 pmIn Israel, alive, and FINALLY have internet! Thank god!
It's really, really, really, REALLY hot here. -_-;; As soon as we arrived, I remembered why it's a bad idea to go into the middle of the desert in August. Also? It's apparently a heatwave. Someone hates us.Famous Israeli joke: How do you know God intended his Chosen People for suffering? He gave to us as our country the one place in the Middle East with no oil!
Also, jetlag = evil. Very, very, very evil. I've gotten about 4 hours of solid sleep a night, accompanied by randomly passing out for ten minutes here, an hour there...>_<
On the bright side, saw plenty of family, got clocks (handmade by my great-uncle, I think one calls it), went to the beach (clear as glass - the Mediterranean is fun), such like that. Israel has been improving my Hebrew exponentially, too, which is nice - my mom always says that I need to go to Israel every other year or two in order to refresh my memory, because in the year in between the quality goes down. Ah, well. ^^
Um...that's all for the moment. ^^;;
