Yah, I like the olympics. Other sports are really just out there, y'know?

I used to read phone books. It was pretty amusing to see how many "Cohen"
families were listed in the Tel-Aviv directory... (I'm not kidding, I really
did that for a while :) there are about ten pages worth of Cohens as of 1994 ;)

I'm serious on this one. Those trips were the highlight of the year, not only
do we miss school for a week (after the four days, we get Thursday and Friday
off ;) but we had so much fun. I got to know people much better during those
trips than during the full school year. We'd always leave the trip with twenty
thousand private jokes, fifteen rolls of film each, and a bunch of hilarious
memories... (like the time I fell off a 2 meter rock slide, or the time we
lost our astronaut teacher, or the time that... you get the picture ;)
