I am in America for two weeks for the holiday of Passover and as you can imagine it is wonderful! Seeing the family is great, the dog, my old room and bed. It feels like I never left. Mom's cooking is delicious and the clothes and technology here cost reasonable amounts!!
But of course, I have left, and to be completely honest while I very much missed my family and friends, I did not miss America culturally. There are many aspects of American life that are ingrained in me but I can see how I have changed since moving to Israel.
I have definitely moved to the right in many of my assumptions because of the realities of living in a very tough neighborhood. I am less optimistic when it comes to politics, but much more optimistic in my personal life. I have slowly started to adopt the Israeli attitude of "it will be ok" and to stop worrying so much about the future. Taking it one day at a time.
Aside from that, I don't have too much to report. Here I am enjoying drinks with some college friends.
