Israelis do it right!

Today the program offered a day trip to Jerusalem, since i was there this weekend i opted out, but marissa and melissa went. instead i slept in which was entirely needed, waking up at 12:30 never felt so sweet...yessss mom 12:30, as daddy would say: "good morning, i mean good afternoon" hahaha.
i called Ariana right when i got up to see what he plans were since i knew she didnt go to JRU either. Ariana, for those of you who dont know is a fellow badger!!!!! her and some of the boys (cali boys- stephen, oren, and dave) were going to the taiellet (the boardwalk by the beach). so i got dressed to join them and it started pouring down rain miami style. 30 minutes of rain 30 minutes of sunshine and so the cycle goes....
anyway, i had the briliant idea of going to the movies. the theater is in herzilya which is a 10 min cab ride away. we all agreed to see the bucket list, got in a cab and were on our way.
now, the reason im writing this post is because of the movie theater, it's called cinema city. let me tell you this place is a little city in and of itself. it is beautiful! huge! amazing! when you go up to pay for your ticket you must choose your seat there, they mark your seat in the computer and when you enter the theater you're escorted to that exact seat. after paying, while waiting for your movie to start there is an indoor avenue of shops to browse: a book store, candy stores, a chocolate fondu store, an israeli take on pink berry, an israeli take on tcby, burger joints, jewlery stands, coffee shops, etc. all along the avenue are sculptures, life size figures of real celebrities, elvis, cowboys, astronauts, soldiers, angelina jolie, brad pit, etc. it was like its own little disney world almost. also there were love seats that were shapped like VW bugs. then there was a food court with fast food places, mcdonalds, kfc etc standard US crap food.
upon entering the theater, once you are escorted to your seat, you plop down into the most comfortable chair you have ever sat in, and so spacious, you completely lack the desire to put your feet up.
the movie was very cute i totally recommend it morgan freeman and jack nicholson were great together!
after the movie Ariana and i walked around ramat aviv a little bit by campus and stopped at burgers bar for a scrumptous dinner.
all in all it was really a greatttt day!
turkey in 2 days cant wait!
