one of those days

Last couple of days have been a little tough.
There was more car trouble and it took me half a day to go between agencies and municipal offices to get my resident's parking permit.
I can't put into words exaclt how much parking sucks in this city. There is a joke someone told me that people looking for apartments in Tel Aviv first find an empty parking spot and then rent an apartment close to it. Sounds about right.
I'm homesick for San Diego. It's really easy to wish I was back on my couch on Arnold Street with the A/C on, reading a book and watching Chelsea Lately. Maybe because I am still waiting for that couch to arrive :)
I miss everyone, hope you're all well!

Gilad... I can so relate... ;-)
My friend lives in "Mitcham Bazel", Parking is such a nightmare I started hating visiting him there and made him move... lol... He did move!
I am sure you will figure out the parking situation, or start bicycling more...
Take care,
Behatzlacha!

haha yes once I got the resident sticker and the easypark it makes things a little easier, but in the last few days once I found a parking spot in the afternoon there was NO WAY I was moving my car that night. Going out means taking a taxi or a MONIT SHERUT
