stam.

I have a favorite Hebrew word officially. Stam.  A general English translation would be "with/for no particular reason, purpose or cause" although it is quite functional in a myriad number of ways. I learned it during GG night the other day. But I think it best captures why I am here, or why I do the things I do or why I am like this. There. Just because. (wait, why am I picking up Hebrew anyway?? I came here for Arabic!)

This evening, I had a great dinner at the Old Port area of Tel Aviv (Tomo Sushi beside Gili’s) with a friend. And it is great that I finally I got to eat meat! But that’s not the point of this story - the best part of Tel Aviv, in my opinion is that the Mediterranean is there to soothe your nerves whenever you need it. These are some of the pictures i took while at the restaurant.

Also, I got a wish list of stuff to finish from the people at work. An intimidating list, I must say. I hope I can finish the summer and see some fruits of my labors.
