• Paid the rent.

• Changed my TISUS date from this Monday to May 28. Hopefully that's a good idea... I might want to be gone already by then, but now I'll have to be here. I just don't feel ready to take it this Monday.

• Won an auction on qxl.se for an Ericsson T20s phone. Perhaps a bit expensive (SEK 950) but I need a phone. I'm surprised there isn't a bigger (/more obvious) secondary market for phones here in Sweden. Anyway, it's GSM 900/1800 so it should work just fine in Israel as well, but not in the U.S. Also I saw some R310s phones for auction (that's the kind I had, that was stolen) selling for more than I paid for mine originally. Apparently that phone is actually going up in value, as it was Ericsson's only waterproof phone, and it's no longer manufactured.

Preparing to travel

To-do:

• Compile list of embassies/consulates and other useful information
• Compile list of immunizations/innoculations
• Get maps
• Acquire a zoom lens for my Minolta SLR camera
• Clothing?
• GPS?
• Validate passport (U.S. Embassy/Copenhagen or U.S. Embassy/Stockholm?)
• Get necessary/useful visas - Jordan, Egypt?
