less issues today. had a decent time after work, and the office wasn't too bad, though a few people looked at me weird. also, the security guard at the hotel asked everyone around me who they were before he would talk to me, and he only talked to me when i started talking to him.

i spent most of the day in the office, but tuesday is pretty light and thursday there is a rough plan to go to jerusalem. honestly, i'm feeling kind of nervous about that now, but maybe the next two days will help.

again, not too hopeful.

but let's focus on the positive for a minute. namely, the food. i had really good seafood yesterday, killer steaks and some shawarma today, as well as a pretty fun breakfast buffet (lots of cured fish) and a really good dessert (italian mousse). so food here is awesome. also, the coke is kosher, which means no corn syrup, which means cane sugar, which means win.

so right, there are some positives.
