Day 93

Day 92 - Modesty

Day 92 - Shabbat 14 August 2010

So after our aimless wanderings around town after some quite Motzash Drinks, I looked up at one fo the balconies I walk past constantly in town to see this humorous sign; in translated Hebrew it reads:

"Men may pass through here only when dressed Modestly. Women feel free [to go as you like]!"

I found it rather comical and a good laugh at 2.30am.. =)

Have a great week all and keep smiling!

NB: Apologies for the past week, it wasn't laziness, there was a legitimate reason this week of my internet being down. ATM I'm in the ice-cream shop around the corner so I can finally update! [I can highly recommend Sorrento Gelati on Rechov Ha'Lamed Hei in Katamon!]

Day 91 - Self Portrait

Day 91 - Friday 13 August 2010

So I've been thinking about getting a new SLR camera recently, and we had someone staying over who just got a new one, so I decided to play around a little bit.

I really like the resolution and speed of the lense, though the zoom was a little lacking, I could always get a better lense! We'll see what the investment bank of my savings account has to say in the near future..

Until then, we can all still enjoy the camera phone images! =)

Day 90 - Antiracist

Day 90 - Thursday 12 August 2010

Found ourselves at Gan Sacher this evening for a nice dinner with friends.

Lash and Jon tried to steal my bike to take it to this skate park/ half pipe they have there - needless to say I was freaking out and went to check the bike was OK..

When I got there, I saw this graffiti which stood out and spoke to me. All the other graffti and tags had been drawn over or written over numerous times, except for this one. Obviously the message stood out to the others as well.

A Skate park is a place where people with one common ideal go to - they love to skate, have some fun, in a risky kid of way - and don't go to fight, argue or bicker.

It's a shame a lot more people don't see this..

Day 89 - Bicycle, BICYCLE!

Day 89 - Wednesday 11 August 2010

Another Homage to my bicycle..without which I would be getting no exercise and paying for way to much transport!

I road to the Old City to go visit Josh and Miri Goodhardt who made Aliyah today! VeShavu Banim LiGvulam! Mazal Tov Guys.. =)

I road today from home, to the Old city, around town, and back home..this photo was taken to emphasise the two things I have been doing a lot lately and visiting a lot lately - using/riding the bike and visiting The Sultans Pools, where the Arts and Crafts festival has been held..plus, it's an awesome view onto the old city..

(Taken from the bridge crossing Derech Chevron, near the Begin Center)

Plus the day after, I rode it from home to Rechov Aza, up to Shteiblach then down to Gan Sacher..a nice little workout.. =)

Day 88 - The Vote

Day 88- Tuesday 10 August 2010

I had one fo those Jam Packed days again!

After getting up earlier then usual (7am) to go to Davening, I locked Jonny out of the house by accident! Which worked out well because he then gave me a lift to Bar Ilan University!..

Then I got on a bus and made my way to the Australian embassy to vote for the federal election..as you can see from the image I chose for today - it's an incredible view of Tel Aviv!

From there, I met friends and we wandered around Shuk HaCarmel for a while, and in doing so (walking to the embassy and around the shuk) expanded my repertoire of Kosher places to eat in Tel Aviv to 6! I'm so happy..including a really good shnitzel in pita place in the Shuk..can highly recommend.. =p

From there, we made our way to the beach for like 5 hours, which was awesome..Finally got to play Woboba on the beach and got a very decent tan..Also, went inside HaYarkon 48 for the first time ever..I can see what all the hype is about..

After the beach, made my way back to Jerusalem to go to the Arts and Crafts festival for the second time - partially because the last time I missed the Israeli Artists and partially because Mosh Ben Ari was playing a concert..regardless, it was an awesome night once again!..

After the long day, made my way home via Baba, said hi to the boys and called it a night..

Oh what a day!..

=)
