Shabbos in the Holy City

Hello all,
This Shabbos I am on the road at a friends families apartment.  The apartment is in Yemin Moshe.  It is absolutely stunningly beautiful up here.  We are going to be davening at the Kotel tonight.  It should (like everything else in this country) be an interesting experience.  Ok, I use that term too much.  
In other news I had Pizza Hut for lunch and we got KFC takeout for dinner.  All kosher, how do you like that?  We got instant Chicken soup, and all kinds of other nosh.  Gonna be a weekend of food, but then again we're Jewish, when is it never a weekend of food?  
Life is becoming pretty much routine here, yet it still is enjoyable because we are in Israel.  There are certain liberties I miss, but we manage.  I am finding more places in Israel that have things to do other then shop, and sharing them with my friends.  Turns out you dont want to go to the movies, the quality is bad, the screens are usually scratched, there is the smoking intermission, and people talk constantly.  I have learned that there is bowling in 2 places.  Eventually, when I make some money, I will go and have a look see.  It is crazy in this country its just spend, spend, spend.  I am trying to do some tech jobs making money, but then again 50 Sheck an hour is not $50 an hour.  Ok, world economics 101 lesson one is over.  Time to go do the whole Shabbat bit, so Good Shabbat to all, and I will post again Sat night!
Jesse
