Day 6 - Thursday 20 May 2010
Today was spent as the first real day of collective shopping for the Bachelor Pad..
Starting with bartering for beds in Talpiyot, then shopping for basic necessities at Rami Levi (my how I've missed that!) and finally, going into town to investigate phone deals.
When I saw these two buskers, I had to laugh, because in all the crazy rushing we'd been experiencing over the day, there was a defined method within the madness - to find stuff we needed, that wasn't going to milk our pockets dry (which happened regardless..) and begin to furnish our new home.
The method here was to play music, to entertain the passers by on Ben Yehuda, collect some money and basically to enjoy what they love. The Israeli looking guy playing guitar isn't what I found amusing, it was the guy next to him, in a backwards baseball cap, sleeveless crew Tshirt and playing classical violin. The music was incredible, and they were very cheery - but to me it was the contrast that was evident that I enjoyed - the distinction between what could be deemed mad, as to what is clearly defined!
