Day 76 - Shopping!

I never knew you could just pick up one of these at the supermarket?! =)

Day 19 - The Big One

So we went for 'the big shop' today - thinking it was our last day with the car (turns out we had another day!) but regardless, I'm going to upload two images, because I don't think you'll believe me when I say that the BASIC shopping necessities cost us close to 830 NIS!

Plus yesterday, we got an oven and washing machine! It was such an awesome feeling buying and shlepping these things home - the washing machine not so much for the shlepping! - but we did it and now we're pretty much all set!

Made me smile =)

Day 6 - Method in the Madness

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!
