quite possible - though I think we talked on the lugnet.loc.Yisrael... hurmph -
need to write to Todd about that.

heheh, apparently it's not that rare... When I lived in Brookline (which is
not Brooklyn, NY), there were about 30 Israelis at BHS around my age...

(oops, I forgot!)
[1] I love to ski, which I picked up when I lived in boston. Never went skiing
in Israel, only once in europe. Every year (well 6-7 times) me and my brother
flew over to the US for a week or two to ski and visit friends. Oddly enough,
since I moved to DC, 1.5 years ago, I havn't went skiing!

I like people's interest too - I guess I just found the people who _are_
interested...
> (1) I'll definitely *go* to college or university, just not sure if in Israel.
Nod, I had to debate that too - two things made up my mind to go to BGU
(Ben-Gurion university, Beer-sheva, Israel):
1. After 3 years of traveling every week base-home, I decided I want to be
local for a bit.
2. I thought that getting a degree in english would be harder than in hebrew.
Little did I know that most EE studies are in english anyway...
