An Israeli in the bay

One week in America

… But what an eventful week it was! For those of you that don’t know, last week I have flown back from Israel, and this week I’m flying to a conference in Portugal.

Some people (ahem, ahem) have commented on the lack of personal perspective in this blog, and it being just a dry collection of facts. Hopefully this post will be an improvement in that regard.

I know I haven’t posted in a while. This is a result of a combination of two seemingly contradicting things: there ws nothing to write about, and I was too busy. Well, now, from my first class seat on NW272 SFO-MEM, I can tell you all the news.

So, I’ll spill it out: I have a new girlfriend. She’s jewish and she lives in Sacramento (about 150km from my home). I met her online on OKCupid (aka the best free dating site, period). Interstingly enough she has messaged me first. After we had an amazing weekend together, I can say this will probably last for long.

We have many things in common personalit-wise, such as our both being the worrying type and both geeks…

BREAKING NEWS: I was just notified by a flight attendant that I have left my passport in SFO. This is very bad since my next flight is international. I will check with the staff at Memphis about how to get it back.

Until we land, I’ll tell you about our planned German family reuinion. It seems that 4 out of my 5 immediate family members will be at Saabrücken with me the coming weekend touring around and playing boardgames.

I’m now really worried about the passport issue and hope I could board the SFO-AMS flight without it and also pass the passport control at AMS, since my I-94 has already been affixed to my boarding pass.

Happy Birthday to me!

49 mile driveNovember 18th is my birthday, which is tomorrow. My plans for my birthday is to go with my friend to San Francisco and act like tourists. Specifically, we plan to take the 49 mile scenic drive all around the city. If you want to greet me, comment here, or use the info in the about page.
