Beautiful Haifa!Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Well I made it! The travel process was not as smooth and enjoyable as I would have liked, but after a 6-hour delay in Tampa, I made it to the University of Haifa at around 8 PM on Friday night.
My room is nice enough. I have my own bathroom so I'm not complaining. No air conditioning though... well see how that ends up... There are 6 rooms in my apt., right now there is an Israeli student living in one of them, but she is moving out next week. The only other person living there so far is Gabbi, who is a Junior from BU. She's a lot of fun and I think it's pretty neat she chose to come here because she is not Jewish. But I guess a lot of the international students here are not, I've met kids from Germany, Hungary, Denmark, South Korea and of course the US. My buds from South Korea are so funny! I definitely haven't met everyone yet, but tomorrow I'm sure that will change.
Pictures of my room/apartment:
Today, we took a tour of the Bahai Gardens and an Arab market, where I bought a bunch of delicious fruit and pita.
Look what I found!!
Me with my roomie, Gabbi
The Gardens
World's Biggest Eggplant!We had pizza for dinner and they showed us this ridiculous cult Israeli movie that was sort of Wet Hot American Summer like... Now I'm just catching up online and going to head to bed soon because early tomorrow morning is Orientation! I'm looking forward to getting more settled and knowing more about the school/program.
I love and miss you all so much! Leave comments if you can! Be back soon with more.
Orliiiiiiiiiiii

Hey! I am glad you finally made it safe. I am back at my apt now, so I will be on Skype waiting for you. Have fun at orientation and meet a hot guy, or two... talk to you later
You don't know the name of the movie you watched do you? I wonder if they'd have it over here in America with subtitles. I love Wet Hot American Summer. lol.
