The dollar is a piece of shit

Yay!!

I have have bought just about all of my major modes of transportation for the ultimate Eurotrip.
Costing. drumroll please... a mere $1273. That includes Eurail, flight rt to budapest, and a flight from Paris back to Budapest.
Thats right. That is the cost of fun ladies and gentlemen, if fun is getting from point A-point B, which don't get me wrong, may be half the fun. The other half of fun will probably cost me around $2000+ dollars. But hey, its just money.
Speaking of money, my wallet was stolen. Someone did nicely take the 1000 NIS + my bus card and then toss the wallet to the side for a nice lady to pick it up, go through the trouble of calling the university, and then calling me to return it. I really appreciate that a lot. Some people in this world are kinda cool. I don't have any money though. Well, I have American dollars, but a load of good that will do me. All I have to say is good thing this didn't happen to me in Europe, but why do my lessons always end up costing me 300+ dollars. I think this is actually the cheapest lesson I've learned in a while.

Summer Poll

I have three pretty amazing choices for the summer. Voting available through comments page.
1. Go home right after the semester ends/shortly after the semester ends. Get an amazing internship (hopefully on a really cool TV show) ((anyone have connections????)) and a pretty sweet job ($$$) and an L.A. apartment.

2. Live in Israel for a month -2 months. Rent an apt. in Tel Aviv and get an internship (Ha'aretz is already an option). Live with Rebecca, basically my best friend ever. And lay on the beach. Travel within Israel and possible travel to Cyprus or Greece. See people that are hanging out here for the summer or traveling on Birthright.

3. Go to Thailand for three weeks after the semester. Then, either come back to Israel and crash at friend's places for like 2 weeks and see people on birthright, etc. Or go straight home and still be able to get summer internship.

Other info: a) I am taking a semester off, so I could get an internship in the fall in L.A.
b) I would be immensely happy with any of these decisions.
c) Please help. I don't know what to do.
d) I don't really have any money.

In a perfect world: I would go to Thailand for 3 weeks, tool around Israel for 2, and come home to an internship that starts July 1st.

Temporary Living

I have been living in the same dreadful building for almost two months now. Yet, the security guard still asks me Gara po? Yes, dumbass. I live here.

We're going to Europe!!


As of now. April 10-May 4
Budapest-->Prague-->Berlin-->Paris???-->Madrid-->Seville-->Grenada-->Barcelona-->Switzerland???-->Milan??-->Florence-->Cinque terre-->Rome/Vatican-->Budapest
The flight was $439 round trip, taxes and all.
We will also prob. get a eurorail 21 day pass.
Suggestions, advice, etc./places we can cut out because we are going to be exhausted but want to see everything, would be much appreciated.

Wine Conossieur or Wino? Whats the difference?

Shai, Josh, and I went wine tasting last week. Instead of tasting though, we just drank. Red wines, dry wines, sweet wines, white wines. Olives, cheese, etc. Obvi, it was lots of fun. I was shwasted, also obvi. We toasted to almost every glass, so hopefully the month of Adar will bring us luck and grant us some of our wishes.

HOF V'YAM

I have not been writing in my blog mostly because I have been going to the beach a lot. It is a surprisingly tiring task. It takes about an hour and a half to walk to the Tayelet (the boardwalk) and then we lay out for a few hours and then walk to the shuk to buy produce, and then take the bus or walk home. You can see, that after all of this, who has time to write in a blog.

Just kidding, I always have time for my loyal readers. (mom)
