早上八點左右抵達特拉維夫Ben Gurion Airport，陽光灑進一片落地窗極美！
10/10 13:10 搭乘海南航空飛往特拉維夫的班機
台灣到以色列目前沒有直飛的班機，因此中途在廣州轉機
10/11 以色列時間早上八點抵達Ben Gurion Airport，飛行了8328公里、一天的時間。
從下飛機開始忐忑入境
入境之後到處希伯來文瞬間變文盲
未來三個月要住的房間不如預期
第一天換錢匯率就被坑了一番
回想第一天實在是發生了太多事情
接著實習開始
每天到家都是七點之後
但......哇嗚終於熬過第一個禮拜了！
抵達的一天之內就發生了許多挫敗的事情...
這一天仔細紀錄的話大概可以打好幾篇xD
這件事情大概是從在台灣到下飛機心裡最忐忑的事情
我們雖然是持觀光簽證（Free Visa for 90 days)
但來的目的是實習而且其實正確來說會待到94天（中間有計劃出境去約旦）
總之在一切還沒確定時都會很不安
但沒想到入境的過程竟然意外的順利！
照理說辦入境都是各自辦理
但我們在排隊時發現前面蠻多情侶或者同行的人會一起辦理
於是乎我們就一起走過去海關那邊了
想說如果不行再說
一見到海關他第一句話就說：「Are you sisters? 」
原本緊張的氣氛頓時轉為輕鬆
主要問我們「Why do you come here?」「What' s your VISA?」
我們就很老實的跟他說我們參與學校的計畫拿獎學金在這邊實習三個月
海關回：「Oh I know this...」有一種他知道這種狀況之感XD
跟我們聊一下台灣就放我們入境了！！
肩上的石頭頓時卸下，有種贏得比賽之感哈哈
在這邊很認真地提醒：
請務必秉持著誠實的準則，即使海關找碴時還能站得住腳
我們計畫有發生過一個例子是他說他是來當志工的
結果沒想到志工有志工的簽證 於是就發生了一些問題（不確定有沒有被遣返）
像是交換學生也有自己的簽證 所以絕對不要亂回答喔～
人生地不熟，再次感受到出外靠朋友的重要
一下飛機就收到學妹傳來的訊息！沒有想到他會來接機
看到訊息後再遇到他本人真的是非常意外與感謝哈哈
雖然可能是要拿我幫他買的轉接頭(喂）但真心無敵感謝
而且我根本沒有認真在查以色列的資料（這點很不好也因此之後吃了一些苦頭）
如果學妹沒來 我跟J 大概會迷失在機場哈哈哈哈因為我們還沒有網路
（原本要靠著J 事前找的資料前往住處）
先短短的交代一下入境！
第一天其實還發生很多事
之後再分開發好了

First week in Israel
It has been a week since I arrived in Israel. I would not forget that when I went out of the airport, it seemed that I became a person who couldn't read. Everything is written in Hebrew without English! Even in the station, it's hard to find English. After settling down, Jessy (my roommate) and I went to Yafo, enjoying the beach on Shabbat. The beach is really amazing! No wonder we saw many tourists on the beach. And then came to the first day of internship. The name of my company is Personalics, which is based on ML to build the recommendation engine. I'm responsible for data visualization, and I should use python to prettify the graphs. I appreciated that my mentor has given me lots of suggestions although she is in Europe, and we always use Skype for meetings or asking questions. My mentor told me that I started with Personalics at the busiest time they ever had today. It would be a big challenge for me to keep up the place, but I think if I can conquer the most difficult time, everything would be better in the future. Yeah... This is what startup is! Another challenge is my English...... my English is still not well and it does make me get things slowly and could not share my ideas fluently...... well one of my goals to Israel is to improve English, which is a really important thing that I shouldn't forget. Hope next week I can be more familiar with everything!
