2.) Travelling 10 meters means you've already sweated through said shirt.
3.) You start looking at the jacket in your closet with a combination of nostalgia and sheer horror.
4.) You know the word "mazgan"(air conditioner) and employ it often.
5.) When you open the freezer to get something, you are pleasantly surprised by the temperature and stick your head in it for about 15 seconds until you realize that your head is indeed in a freezer.
6.) Your fan is your best friend. You take him with you to the living room in the morning, to the laundry room when you're folding laundry and to your bedroom where, even though he sits humming at you from a few centimeters away, you'd snuggle with him if you could.
7.) You put up with screaming children in indoor public places with "mazgan" just to feel a temperature of less than 36 degrees for a few minutes (or an hour or two as I do).
8.) The friend with the "mazgan" is the most popular one.
9.) Even if the sea has jellyfish that sting you, you risk it anyway because you just need to fucking cool off.
10.) If you are not at the beach, you are sequestered in your apartment or office wondering what it was like to not live in hell.
Let's hope I survive this inferno so that I can write a "Winter in Tel Aviv Means:" post in January.
You snuggle? That may be the first time that I've heard you use this word. Maybe you should have personified your fan as a she... ;)
ReplyDeletePeru is really cold without central heat if that makes you feel any better! I went from sweating balls to having continuous purple hand syndrome in 2 days!
What can I say. Tel Aviv has turned me into a gay snuggler.
ReplyDeleteI'm down for switching locations with you every week. Deal?
If you figure out how to make that happen and not cost any money or time, it's a deal.
