My day in Tel Aviv today included:
1. I was walking by my house and yawned, as I often do. A storeowner got out of his store and said "Cover your mouth while you're yawning or a fly will get in there!" I wish this was the first time a stranger on the street in Israel told me to cover my mouth while yawning.
2. This is really upsetting: I walked out of my house and saw a cat lying down and moving around in the middle of the road. I thought he was just hanging out, but then I saw all this blood around him. He was dying! I called my cousin who has a lot of experience with animal shelters and asked her if there's a service I can call who can take the cat to an animal hospital. She said no! It was so disturbing. Poor cat.
3. I was waiting for a sherut (mini-bus cab) and these two girls walk by and stand on the road in front of me. At first, I thought they were trying to steal my sherut when it comes by, and that I'd have to fight them for it, and that it'd be annoying. Then I realized they were hookers trying to get a "free ride" somewhere. They kept stopping traffic by talking to potential johns, who didn't even pull over for some reason. There was a traffic jam because of all this potential hooking. Let's hope Richard Gere stops for them.
In conclusion, Tel Aviv can be summed up by overbearing strangers, dying cats, and hookers.
