I'm feeling more like myself after sleeping 12 hours last night. But let's go back a bit shall we?<br /><br />I arrived at Ben Gurion airport at around 1pm. Took a while to get off the plane because I was about 5 rows from the back and everyone in the front was moving so slowly. Luckily, customs didn't take long, and my bags were already on the belt by the time I got there, so it was rather quick to retreive them.<br /><br />I had to wait about 30 min for the Gabels to get there. I tried to buy a SIM card for my phone and had my first Israeli customer service encounter: As I walked into the shop, a gentleman was leaving. The employee started helping me, asked me how long my trip is, did I want a phone on a contract or pre-paid, said pre-paid would be 200 shekels (roughly $50 canadian). Then the gentleman came back into the store and the employee completely ignored me to continue her dealings with the guy. I waited patiently for a few min, then got annoyed and left. I was going to go back in after doing a loop and not seeing the Gabels, but then I heard my name being called by the younger son, Ayal.<br /><br />Got to the house on a moshav near Netanya, had a bite to eat, took a shower, and napped for close to 2 hours. Then I went with Yacov (the father) to pick something up from his niece's house. Came back to a power failure so we ate shabbat dinner by candlelight. The lights came on after about an hour and a half. We watched some tv, and then the boys and I played poker for a bit (beat them both). I went to bed at around 10:30.<br /><br />Today after waking up, I went with Rhoda (mom) and Yacov to a nursery to buy flowers. Today is Rhoda's birthday. Now as I'm typing this I'm being called for lunch.<br /><br />I'm going to look for a SIM tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going into Tel Aviv with Yacov. He has a work thing, so he'll drop me off in a mall to wander for a few hours and then he'll pick me up. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ponks19:188914 2007-08-21T20:46:13Z 2007-08-22T03:10:00Z Why did they have to go and change the House dvd packaging??? <br /><br />Pics of my (Canadian?) packaging... <br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/ponks19/pic/0001699c/"><img height="240" alt="" width="320" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ponks19/pic/0001699c/s320x240" /></a> <br /><br />I can deal with the slim cases...but the box is bigger than the other two seasons... =( <br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/ponks19/pic/000177fy/"><img height="240" alt="" width="180" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/ponks19/pic/000177fy/s320x240" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ponks19:107433 2006-12-02T02:43:37Z 2006-12-02T02:50:08Z Did a bit of a friends cut...went through my list and cut those who haven't updated in a loooooong time or those who I haven't really made a "connection" with.&nbsp; I'd rather have a small list who I can really get to know, and have the time to communicate with back and forth, than a long list of friends to look cool or something.&nbsp; Anyway, I hope there's no hard feelings...you're all cool people!&nbsp; And maybe our paths will cross again.
