packing, packing, packing....

Hey all,

So yesterday I had my last day at work for the coming two weeks as we are now on vacation =) In Israel its Pesach and in most of Europe Easters is coming so me and Adi took some extra days and made a longer vacation. We are going to Portugal to meet up with some friends from the Seminar on sunday so right now we are packing, making laundry and packing some more. In Portugal the sun i shining and its warm and nice, which is a good change from the last weeks weather here.

On another note apparently the Bieber-fever has reached Israel as well. Last night when I took the train home from work the train was attacked by some 500 12-15 year old girls who had just been to his concert in Tel Aviv. This made the train warm, sweaty and late not the best combination and as we stepped of the the train in Haifa it also started smoking and burning. Something that is not to unusual in Israel the past couple of months as there has been a few train fires and collisions. In Sweden the trains dont run cause its to cold here they dont run because they are to old or its to warm outside....how about inventing a train that is weather resistant? or is that to expensive maybe? but somehow I guess in the end it will serve the better cause as they are safer.

Also the swedish Allsvenska has started and Elfsborg has so far one win and one loss. However they have a pretty rough start against all teams that are thought to be in the top when the series end. Last night the Stanley Cup playoffs also started and Montreal are playing Boston, an original six rivalry =) and it couldn't have gotten a better start 2-0 to the Habs at the Boston Garden! Thats all for now,

Time goes fast...

Hi again,

So I realized that I hadn't made an update here in the blog for some time. Its not because nothing has happend more because of the fact that time has gone by pretty fast. I work all week long and come back to Haifa late at night so during the day there mostly no time to write and in the weekend we are busy with other things.

At work nothing is really new, same procedures as always just that some ppl leave and some new ppl come in. Two weeks ago we had a Company Purim party in Tel Aviv that was a lot of fun. For those of you who don't know what Purim is, you can read about it here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim. What this meant for the party is that everyone dressed up in different customs not to much unlike Halloween but not only in scary customs but also nice an fun ones. For the party each department of the company had also made a funny video, ex. a day at the office, lip-syncing to different songs etc. We in the Poker support made a lip-sync video to Lady Gagas Poker Face and won the second prize in the competition =) The party overall was fun and it was nice to see ppl from work outside of work and with a drink in their hand.

On another note me and Adi today got our tickets to go to Portugal during Easter and meet up with some friends from the seminar camp here in Israel in 2009. Its going to be a good 10-day of fun a relaxation. I've never been to Portugal so if anyone has any recommendations your more then welcome to tell me.

For you swedes back home you might be glad to know that I'm coming to Sweden in the end of May early June for my brothers graduation and to visit you all so If you wanna meet up let me know.

Now I gotta get back to work,
Til you read again,
Peace
Carl
