Soap

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Another great story here. See, thrice a week we attend Ulpan (Hebrew Class) at a different kibbutz, Enah Natziv. The other three days we work, since of course Saturday is spent as the free day. The bus leaves to Ulpan at exactly (or so they claim) 7:45 AM. If you miss it, you are supposed to go to work, rather than just sit back and relax. Bueno, enough with the introduction.

Friday, a little over a month ago, I showed up literally two minutes late to the bus. So, I figured, I�m only two minutes, late, I�ll get there by myself, and I�ll only be a little bit late, especially, since we generally show up early.

I walked out of the kibbutz, thinking that I�d walk there, with my thumb out, so that I�d get there quickly. So I walked to Kibbutz, I wasn�t picked up, Terat Tzvi. Enah Natziv, Tirat Tzvi, they sound alike, anybody could get them confused. So, I walked every square foot of the kibbutz, looking for a landmark, (the living space on a kibbutz is about the size of your average neighborhood... say, Mandarin...) but amazingly enough, I couldn�t find a single thing. Duh. I kept thinking that maybe their were two dining rooms, cause this isn�t the right one...

I finally give up, and started to walk the three kilometers to my kibbutz, but luckily, somebody picked me up, so I got home pretty quickly.

I come back pretty tired, but I�m ready to go to work. First, I have to drop my books off in my room. I notice, due to my walking, and completely empty stomach, that my roommate has a water bottle on his desk. Sharing germs isn�t a problem in this region, and this was refilled with tap water, so I really didn�t think twice to take a chug.

Glug, glug, glug...wait a minute...this doesn�t taste...like water.... I look at the label. " "��{sabon} FYI, "Sabon" is soap.

Actually, I didn�t drink soap. My roommate didn�t know the word for "Laundry detergent." So, yes, I have been sick here.

Get me outa here!!!
