Thought I would get in on the “things I learned post.” Here are few observations:
- Pharmacists are super nice
- The use of emojis here is outstanding. You see them in emails, texts, Facebook Posts, Ads, you name it.
- Pomegranates grow everywhere and they are beautiful on the tree.
- Did I mention emojis? Seriously, every text has at least one.
- There is an ice cream flavor called Lotus at the nearby ice cream shop and it is the best. Kind of like caramel with graham crackers — sort of. But it is sooooo good. And it claims to be non-dairy.
- This time of year everyone wishes you a shana tova (happy new year), including the guy who comes by to install something for the apartment.
- Being able to walk to a grocery store (or three) is a simple pleasure (and luxury?) and I take advantage of the opportunity most days.
- I love bourekas. I knew this already but now I can eat them all. the. time.
- You need to take out a loan to buy all of the books, supplies, and clothes kids need for school.
