My Street

So this is my street, in the middle of Tel Aviv. I'm in the 2nd house on the left. It's a very typical tel aviv street, as much of the city is comprised of the buildings you see. The area around it is amazing, I seriously found a fantastic apartment right in the heart of everything. I took this photo on Thursday, my first full day in the city. I tried to open a bank account and get a cell phone and such, but in order to do that you need an identity card, the equivalent of a social security number.

On Friday morning I met my new landlord at my new apartment. It's small, but really cute, and LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! (you know how it is). Then, my father and I went to Ikea (yes, they have Ikea here, Julia, it's not the 3rd world) and got a desk and little end table. I will post photos of the apartment only when it's finally livable.

Over the weekend I caught up with friends and family that I haven't seen in a long time, but I still haven't had time to go to the beach.

more to come from the craziness of my first week as I try to create a new life!
