• Topic: Holiday in Israel

  Despite what most people must think about Israel right now from the news, I’m quite happy to have landed down here at 3:30am this morning. I’m staying with a friend right now in Tel Aviv, a 5min. walk from the beach, where I had a nice swim in the Mediteranean Sea.

  From what i’ve learned so far, there’s hardly a sense of war down here in Tel Aviv. Most people have developed a sense of humor about the violence, so while northern israel is getting pelted by Hezbollah rockets, the fear level here is no different than America post 9-11. Basically, people live their lives in a completely normal fashion.

  I’ll probably form more opinions about the conflict here as the days go by.

  Well…back to lounging.
