I'm so, so jealous of you Brits and Americans! I'm so curious about 
the people in this group, I'd just love to meet some of them. 
And I thought that living is Israel stinks because of the Intifada, 
terrorism, right wing politics, the heat, water pollution.. Nah, it's 
much worse - its too far away from HP meetings!!!!
