Hej hej!
As I mentioned on my last post, this weekend I am hosting my first visitor from home - my cousin Orit, who also happens to be one of my best friends. She arrived on Thursday afternoon and we've been having a wonderful time since then!
First of all, it's so different to be speaking Hebrew here... and there's something nice about knowing no one can understand you... :) you can have the most secretive conversation in a train packed with people. hehe.
Thursday we went to dinner at the Tapas place near the office and then headed to Odenplan to a place that I like. On Friday afternoon Orit (who went on village in 1992) and I met with one of the Swedish delegates from her village who lives in Stockholm now. It was very cool, and they hadn't seen eachother in nearly 18 (!) years. One of those great CISV moments.
Friday night we were invited to dinner at the Israeli embassador's house and it was very very nice. My first time in Östermalm and they had a very beautiful home. We also had a chance to meet some other israelis and some jewish Swedish people our age. Then we all went out together to Stureplan. It was my first time there so it was great and fun. You do have to pay a "price" for a party night though, because we got home so late, that yesterday we just could not bring ourselves to do anything... and we just stayed home and went to bed very early. But now we are heading to hopefully do some iceskating and H&Ming (we don't have it in Israel so we always go to H&M when we're in Europe) and tomorrow Orit is already going home... :(
But what a great weekend!
