Yeah, see, I thought that us foreign-exchange students were ridiculous for going out so late on a weeknight (I mean, TAU's exchange classes are a *joke* so it's not like we have to be awake for them anyway), but then I look around at the bars and realize that 99% of the crowd is Israeli. And 95% of those Israelis have to get up for work the next morning. They always give the "you could die tomorrow" explanation for this when I ask... but how many of them work in an office in Sderot with Tzeva Adom every day? A negligible amount. So I think it's just an excuse. Not that I'm complaining. I like partying on a Tuesday and not being the only one in the place. Not gonna lie. It's fun. Party on, crazy Tel Avivers. Party on.

I think that should be the subject of a future post. "My mom would have an aneurysm."

Either that or a song by Blink-182.

nah, i disagree. i asked a(n israeli) fried of mine why israeli guys are so um how shall we put this delicately ? intent on harassing them females...she responded in a similar vein--that any day now they're gonna die....have to 'chap arein' (that's yiddish)

I think that Israelis are really special. Because ... sshhh... you can die tomorrow in ANY country. But people still don't party like in Tel Aviv. WOOO!!! :-)
I think the whole "you might die tomorrow" is just Israeli bullsh*t for "what?! i want to party. who cares about work."..
It's more of a 'yihiye b'seder' thing, I feel.

Another true story: A woman I had never met before and only talked to once on the phone (about a job) invited me to stay at her house in the Old City for a whole shabbat. I'm secular. She obviously keeps shabbat.

I accepted, telling her that whatever I do that may be not Shabbat-ish, she should tell me.

So it was me, her, her husband, 2 sons, pregnant daughter (due any minute) with husband and the 3 grandkids.

Oh, and did I mention that they spoke limited English?

Know what? I actually had a good time and they did everything to make me feel like part of the family.
(In case you were wondering, the only embarassing thing I did was almost put a parve cup in the dairy sink. Can you believe that? How silly am I?)
