Slow day at the office today. I ended up playing Donkey Kong with the girl who processes refunds for half the day. I'm really liking the new job. The job itself isn't all that interesting, but I really like the people I work with, and that makes the all the difference. I'm going out to to have a couple of beers with my roommate Juan tonight. He's headed off to New Zealand for a while. I'll probably join him in January for about six months if I can't get a work visa in Brazil, since it's easy to get a visa in New Zealand.
Living in Tel Aviv, although it is a lot of fun, has become a bit strange. I speak English at home, I work in an English speaking office, and my neighborhood bar is run by Americans (no, not Mike's Place, I'm not a tourist). I basically only need Hebrew for when I need to feed myself. I live in a strange English bubble. Oh, well. In any case, life is good.
