Interests

Eating out. I love to go out in the city and eat at a good restaurant. I like to walk the streets and look at the people and the buildings. I like to read, especially on the metro--because to sit down quietly with a good book and be moving and getting somewhere at the same time is a nice feeling. Coffee is a must in the morning and a pleasure always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a two-month basic training program in the Israeli army. I wasn't enlisted; it was a program for foreigners.

Oh, also, I ate the same shrimp mofongo that Anthony Bourdain ate in the same beach-side bar in Isabela, Puerto Rico. And it was amazing.
