Yesterday I went to the Central Bus Station, which is also a mall, to get a SIM card for the cell phone my family is going to be using when they visit (27 days!) and I conducted the entire conversation in Hebrew. I was very excited about this, because for the previous SIM card I bought, I just randomly picked one and had no idea what the rates were, as I didn’t know any of the Hebrew vocabulary about cell phones. Now, I can ask in Hebrew about rates for calls in the network, out of the network, at night, during Shabbat and holidays, and price of text messages. It’s pretty cool.
As I was walking back from the Central Bus Station I realized I could just walk through this huge park on my way home. (It turns out the huge park is actually the grounds of the Knesset. Amazing.) I got sidetracked, and ended up sitting in the grass for two hours doing my ulpan homework and basking in the sun. After two hours, I realized I had an ugly red rash on every part of me that was touching the grass. Apparently I’ve developed an allergy to grass. Good to know. But I am not going to let it deter me from spending as much time as I can outside in Jerusalem. Especially with my new Hebrew knowledge.
