Christmas
In Bucharest people conquest the hypermarkets and spend hours waiting for their turn to pay. Everywhere there are people looking for gifts and buying food for the holiday.
In Tel Aviv I spent almost 20 minutes in front of the fitting rooms in order to try a shirt, which didn't look good on me anyway. People are looking for gifts not for food. Except for "sufganiyot" ...

Israeli coffee
Drinking coffee in Israel is quite an adventure. Watch out - what you want is not what you get!
Survival guide:
- cappuccino - "kafe hafuch" or "twisted coffee", what they mean is an ordinary coffee with milk; until yet I haven't discovered the real cappuccino;
- caffe frappe - here they call it simply "ice coffee" and they have some amazing combinations;
- caffe latte - and they mean "coffee with milk" but not the above mentioned one :-/
- black coffee - don't expect a coffee without sugar because you're wrong; they mean coffee with sugar but with no milk, that's why it's black isn't it!?

Eran Grebler's dreydlekh
The Old City of Caesaria has it's own special charm, no doubt.
But what makes it even more special for me is the small welcoming gallery of the Israeli artist Eran Grebler.
Spinning the dreydlekh means spinning the memories of my love for Yiddish, means getting even deeper in the Jewish sensibility and re-descovering the child within myself.
Last summer I chosed a hamsa and a "foot"-hamsa. The small vulnerable hamsa sacrifice itself for me - it fell on the floor a couple of seconds after I had fixed it on the wall. It says that when a hamsa is broken, it takes all the Bad with itself and protects the owner. But however I felt pitty on my hamsa. So, after one year almost, I have decided to replace the previous hamsa and to bring to the "foot" it's mate.
And since I believe that things just don't happen by chance, today I picked up the "love and happiness"-hamsa, because I forgot that this was written on the "foot" also.

Indoor stairs
It is well-known that professional photographers endure difficulties and sometimes even risk their lives in order to take the photo.
I am not a professionist, but an amateur. But even I endured the hard smell of filth and urine and the bark of a dog which threatened to roll down to me. And this is the photo:
