Tel Aviv June 9th

Yesterday was huge! i found a volunteer position at Latet, an Israeli humanitarian aid organization, so spent most of the day at their office walking distance from Freeman's place. The office was a riot! Great young crew of people that work there, some were doing some arts and crafts for a volunteer appreciation event coming up, then at one point everyone broke out into Happy Birthday for someones 30th birthday and we all got cake.

After that in the evening i went to my first hebrew class at Ulpan Gordon. It's going to be quite useful.

Last night we had a big night as Freeman's roommate Seth got back from the the army, hit up some bars and clubs in the Lilem Bloom area.

2 things i've learnt in the past few days: Firstly, apparently a lot of girls in the army spend more than a month's salary (they don't get paid much for the mandatory service) to get their army issued pants and shirt custom tailored so they look better in uniform. i'm not complaining. Secondly, Freeman's place at night is only 2 blocks away from transvestite central of Tel Aviv!
