New Apartment

So I moved two weeks ago after my Poland trip into an apartment into a city south of Tel Aviv called Bat Yam. Everyone else in my program also moved into apartments here or in the neighboring city Holon. I'm living with five other guys; two from England, two from Jersey, and one Israeli who is doing a separate program called Tsofim. We get a food stipend so we go shopping together. It's be a bit tough eating healthily, but I've done quite well.
I work as a gardener with kids who, for many different reasons, had to drop out of high school. They get employed by the city to do groundskeeping for different schools and parks. I work outside and quite hard mostly so I'm happy to do the work.
The city Bat Yam is mostly lower middle class families. My apartment is about 15 minutes away from the beach so once it gets warmer out and the days get longer I'll be able to go swimming regularly.
Everything is going very well in Bat Yam and I'm having a lot of fun.
