this past week

This past week I have been spending a lot of time with my two long lost friends, Yossi and Elan. Elan I have known literally since age zero, and is currently living in Toronto. He is in town for a week visiting. Yossi is another friend of ours from NYC who recently moved back to Tel Aviv. So the three of us have been catching up and going out a lot.

Also, this past week I had a bizarre sort of Bay Area reunion. I went out with my friend Osi, who invited her friend Roni (Schertzer), who invited her friend Asaf (Resnik) who invited his friend Doron (Klein). Turns out that all of our parents know each other from the Bay Area (I added last names for my mother, so she knows who I'm talking about)

Lastly, for all the ladies reading this. I was walking around with friends yesterday and noticed a store that was selling 7 jeans. I mention this because my time at the GAP has given me some knowledge into the world of retail, and 7 jeans are apparently the favorite for females (note to Jacob and Jeff, they are not good on men, save your money). I also mention this because I don't recognize any of the jeans in this country, all these crazy brands like TNT, Replay, Lee Cooper, and tons of other brands I have never heard of, so seeing something I recognized (besides the obvious Levis) was funny. In any case, they cost 1000 shekels in this country, or roughly 230 bucks! That's crazy! I understand maybe 130 for a good pair of jeans, but 230??? that's insane.
