Impressed with your cooking, the photos make us hungry! Thanks for sharing your wonderful, educational venture with us; looking forward to your next entry.Uncle Sam and Aunt Lyndanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-77787424095765374562010-10-12T07:38:50.429+02:002010-10-12T07:38:50.429+02:00Weird country.

Maybe smashing glass with a sledge and no goggles doesn't seem all that hazardous to them.<br /><br />Did you figure out why they wouldn't sit next to you before you got your package?<br /><br />You might use Google Translate to convert an English phrase to Hebrew glyphs. Don't know if Google's tool will get the syntax right. You might end up writing something as weird as some of the word-for-word translations into English I've seen. But you ought to be able to get "This burned my clothes" on the dryer.<br /><br />מייבש זה שרף את הבגדים שלי<br /><br />I've been watching a bunch of anime on netflix. An interesting art form. Don't know how good Israel might be with animation of any sort. Except for dancing cows, I guess. Do they even do cartoons?<br /><br />Gorgeous view on the trip to the post office.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024346621075202108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-49274312937272227682010-10-11T22:36:36.695+02:002010-10-11T22:36:36.695+02:00I always enjoy your descriptions of daily life whi...I always enjoy your descriptions of daily life while living in Jerusalem. You are one very observant person and we get the benefits of seeing things through your eyes. Your recipes and cooking pictures look delicious. I know you started your graduate courses this week. Take care of yourself.<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-40044274201328988122010-10-09T14:09:32.347+02:002010-10-09T14:09:32.347+02:00Yay! Fun post!
That's crazy about all the ...Yay! Fun post! <br /><br />That's crazy about all the construction. In Japan they are really courtious about that sort of thing and they normally wait till night time to do work in high pedestrian traffic areas. They even put Christmas lights on the scaffoldings to make them a little less ugly during the holidays. <br /><br />The speakers in your dorm remind me of the speakers that are set up all over my island. They announce things throughout the day and play music at noon and 5 pm. My apartment is about halfway between two of these speakers, so I get a really bad echo effect and normally can't understand hardly anything they say. I'm always hoping that if it is something super important, like a tidal way coming or something, that my neighbors will come and get me because I will probably be oblivious.<br /><br />That's crazy about the dryer, but at least you have them! Everything is hung up to dry here. When I was lamenting not having a dryer one day my teacher looked at me as though I were speaking very strangely and said, "But only rich people have dryers." But I suppose I'd rather hang things up than have them burst into flames...<br /><br />Also, I love your geek ranting. That's the best kind!<br /><br />Great job on the cooking! I'm still being lazy and hardly know how to cook anything. It's frustrating not being able to find ingridients I want though. But your pictures look amazing and delicious and maybe they will inspire me to give something a try.<br /><br />I really didn't like Pride and Prejudice when I read it in high school, but I loved the Count of Monte Cristo. You'll have to give us a report of what you thought of them!<br /><br />Long post = long comment!<br /><br />By the way, I was showing some friends the video of the para para we did at Aggiecon and thought of you. They were really impressed Miss you!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920217846651096833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-89167669596919099532010-10-08T05:52:51.526+02:002010-10-08T05:52:51.526+02:00Anna,
Great post! So much great information and ...Anna,<br /><br />Great post! So much great information and great pictures. It's very interesting to see the difference between liability concerns here verses there when doing construction. It's a wonder that no one was worried about getting glass in their food or drinks.<br />I love the pictures of the graffiti. Rather artistic and fun!<br />You're becoming quite the cook. Your dishes always look extremely good and tasty! And, thank you for biting the bullet and trying the cookies for us - very generous of you!<br />Keep the posts coming and for gosh sakes, don't hack off the meter police!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883291158657456666noreply@blogger.com
