Hi all, I'm writing from my friend's apartment in Ramat Gan (another neighborhood of Tel Aviv). It is closer to the main city of Tel Aviv than where my cousins house was, but still not in the city. But ramat gan is a city of its own. I moved in thursday night. The apartment is really nice and is in a great location. There is food and shopping and restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance. I also have a nice balcony from his 6th floor apartment where i can see most of the city, and I like to sit out on the balcony at night and enjoy the cool evening air (and borrow wireless interent from one of his neighbors, hehe).

Hi all, I'm writing from my friend's apartment in Ramat Gan (another neighborhood of Tel Aviv). It is closer to the main city of Tel Aviv than where my cousins house was, but still not in the city. But ramat gan is a city of its own. I moved in thursday night. The apartment is really nice and is in a great location. There is food and shopping and restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance. I also have a nice balcony from his 6th floor apartment where i can see most of the city, and I like to sit out on the balcony at night and enjoy the cool evening air (and borrow wireless interent from one of his neighbors, hehe).

So yesterday I walked all around the neighborhood to get a feel for it, see what is around etc. Its got pretty much everything i could need, so that is great. Then, I did some quick emergency grocery shopping for shabbat. Just as I was getting ready to go back out, one of my cousins called me, my grandma's cousin to be exact, so they are like my substitute grandparents here. And so they asked me in
and they don't take no for an answer, haha. so i went over to their house, and they fed me, and i had shabbat dinner there, which was nice. then one of their friends drove me home. they wanted me to stay overnight, but i didn't want to and they wouldn't let me walk home even though it was only a 15 minute walk.

so today, i took another 2-3 hour walk. this time i walked towards tel aviv. i had wanted to walk all the way to the beach (it would have been about an hour without stopping,but i like to stop and sit on benches). but i took too long to get dressed and out the door, so i made it to tel aviv, but not all the way to the beach. tomorrow i can take the bus, but shabbat = no buses. i love walking here, even tho its hot as hell. at home i would never think of walking anywhere. here i walk all over. So then I had dinner at my other cousins apartment in Tel aviv. it was a lot of fun, and very good ...
