Day Fifteen

Am in my room. I'm not well. One of my roomies had a nasty cough and cold, and managed to pass it on to me. Last night I didn't sleep well cos it was so hot I couldn't breathe through either my nose or mouth, so just kinda sat awake all night, gasping for air. This morning, I had to go to the nearest town to get to the pharmacy - I arrived at 8am, and it didn't open until 9am. I had no book or Ipod, so I consequently sat there and waited, with nothing but my imagination. It was actually quite a nice change from all the hustle and bustle of the kibbutz!

Otherwise, stuff is fine: I just realised it's now been over two weeks since I arrived, and I've clearly survived here, even left a legacy - A and Aussie, in the kitchen, were both wearing gloves to handle raw chicken!

However there is other drama in the kitchen - Aussie girl has already been kicked out for not taking work seriously enough.

Otherwise, Aussie guy, Hungarian and I went to the kanyon hagadol, and it was the first time I'd properly been off the kibbutz, and I was rather overwhelmed by it all - everything was so big and shiny and crazy, and there were so many people...!There is a kosher McDonalds there, and also a froyo (I sampled the latter. Obviously!)

So I've survived - I'll try another two weeks here, and see how that goes.
