more observations from the USA (Chicago day 4-5)
more observations from the USA (Chicago):
* it is great to be able to watch Cubs games at a normal hour of the day and not have to stay up until the wee hours of the night to catch a few innings or wake up extra early to catch a few.
* I am still noticing the lack of birkat kohanim in davening. it almost feels like, what's the point of going to shul with no birkat kohanim?
* people (general, not specific people) are far nicer and more helpful than I remember, and in Chicago they were always nice and helpful. And I am talking about even in the least expected situations - clerks and store employees who go the extra mile to be helpful.
* food is great, family is great, everything is a lot of fun - especially as a visitor - but I am ready to go home.

How about the really steep staircases? Maybe Chicago is different, but in NY/NJ they are more like ladders compared to the Israeli ones. My family always gets a kick out of the soda bottles, toilet water and steps when we visit the US
ReplyDeletegood one about the stairs. i noticed that but didnt realize it wasnt unique to the one building we happened to be in and see that
