1. You will try out veganism for a week, then settle for eating vegan food as long as you can keep schnitzel a part of your daily diet.
2. You will fall in love at first sight...with sabich.
3. You will ignore the taste of Maccabi 7.9% beer and opt for its brute strength.
4. You will develop strong feelings about graffiti, cats, and bike lanes.

7. You will push John Hugh's aside once you experience the real Breakfast Club.
8. You will have a standoff with a cat.

10. You will gain a whole new understanding of contemporary dance.
11. You will feel guilty about buying produce at the AM:PM instead of the Shuk...however, the 'AmPam' will become your best frenemy.
12. You will see a spectacular sunrise (whether climbing Masada or grabbing the drunk early bird special at Benedict).

29. You will invite a family member to visit from abroad just to bring you a long list of pharmacy items from back home.
30. You will order something off Asos...it probably won't fit right, come to the wrong address, or you'll find out you never had a mailbox to begin with, yet share the same address with the entire neighborhood block.
31. You will taste tubi and feel intrigued, yet oddly violated.
32. You will learn to love lukewarm water - and its subtle hints of what taste like tubi.
