Life, Jim...

Yesterday was another long day, I ended up in Rosh Ha'ayin last night (instead of tonight), teaching English. The 'chinking' of glasses filled with something alcoholic to practice social English is definitely a role play situation I will be using again, and, er, again...while the days at work are fast turning into a blur, only another 10 days of stress to go...I'm crossing them off my calendar with a big red ' X '.

Anyway, finished up at around 12 last night, after catching the Sex in the City double-header (maybe I shouldn't be confessing to that...). On the way out of Rosh Ha'ayin there was one hefty roadblock, manned with quite a few security personnel...brought the days events right back into focus. Then, as we carried on down the freeway, we spotted a couple of armoured vehicles. It's not often that you get to see them in action this close to the centre. Looks like Israel is at least preparing for the attacks that are going to come. Let's face it, it's just a matter of when...

Meanwhile, life goes on in Israel, and the new Miss Israel was crowned last night (how many of these bullshit beauty/fashion/model shows are there in this country??). Where is she from? That's right, Rosh Ha'ayin...
