a down&up day

moin moin!


last night we went to a park m0re or less close by because they had english open air cinema for free :-) after teh movie we ended up at and later in a huge playground.

today i think i had a lot of stages you pass through when you go abroad.

in the morning i was frustrated. i asked sth. to IAESTE by email and i felt i only got a too much generalized answer which were not really helping me.
later my co workers went to lunch - they invited me to join - but spoke just hebrew... only if i was with one alone he spoke in english. when the others returned to our table... only hebrew...
also i had to change my desk twice today. first i stayed in the office and just moved to an other table because the owner came surprisingly back from a business trip. 5 min later our secretary moved me again because there are meetings in the office now. i got an other desk in an other office room. but there i was sitting in the direct line of the air con. i talked with the other lady in the room and we agreed to switch air con of. later she had meeting and switched it on because we were 4 persons now. i was freezing and afraid to get a cold. i switched off - 3 min later they switched on... think about how it ended... when i asked her how to solve the problem because i dont know how long i will be there i said joking that i will stay till end september and switching on and off means 3m sprint always... her reaction 'i hope not'
hmm... 3 times i didnt feel welcomed...

i left work ealier... the air con was too much for me.
and my luck started even before i left home for work... my stomach was running crazy and kept me clos eby our toilet for almost half hour... yesterday i had the same at work... ok the food adaption process started...

on my way back i decided to go out for sight seeing - on my own... wanted to be a bit alone.
the oldets skyscraper in Tel Aviv, Shalom Tower, has a observation desk - better i should say had. its broken... forever. but the friendly guard told me i should go to Azreli tower. this has one. but not around the corner... an other day i was looking for the indepence hall and the kamel market... at last one i bougnht cheap fruits and got to k now cheap places for shopping. on my home ride an old man was sitting next to my - ca. 80 years young. after a few seconds we started to talk. surprisingly his 1st question was not wher ei am from. and later when he aksed i replied he took no manner of it... great. when we passe dthe rabin square, where the former prime minister was killed in the nintees, he told me many details about that and Tel Aviv. Also why the have a head over pyramid as a monument. he was really nice! like a star on my today's day...

on my sight seeing trip i saw a lot... many different architecture styles and pragmatic solutions of life... have a look at my pics... and make your own thoughts
do you know what is typical for Tel Aviv? I think impressions were mordern skyscrapers and cdentury old building standing next to each other...
