First couple of days

I have arrived in Bat Yam a couple of days ago. My roommates are just great.. I have an Israeli named Aviv, who has the cutest accent, Emily who's from philidelphia and Ilana who is from Boston. Although its hot as hell in our apartments(we have no fan or AC) it is really cute and homey. I'm having trouble with directions.. luckily I can just follow my roommates , but sooner or later I need to know for myself because we'll probably have different classes and volunteer placements. Many Israelis have already tried ripping me off/taking advantage of my money. If they see you are American, they instantly charge you more. Israelis are also very pushy and rude , especially in grocery stores! They kept pushing me over with their cart and nudging me out of their way.
Tonight we went to a pool party on the beach and had dinner watching the sunset it was beautiful. My feet hurt from walking everywhere.. everything in Bat Yam is very far apart so we walk miles and miles every day.
